[PEDA] [PrU] Wierd Sience
I have not received any posts from PEDA for the last couple of days, so I begin to wonder what is going on with the listserver . . . I go and look at the Techservinc Archive, and it appears to have also stopped a few days ago too . . . Ok, me thinks, is it broken, or is it me . . . So I go to the Yahoo! Groups list, and the parallel archive that is (was?) kept there . . . Last post there, October 19th . . . Today's date . . . Ok, so I haven't received anything newer than October 17th from PEDA, and the date says the last post was today's date October 19th . . . Ok, so let's look at the Subject line and try to make sense out of what is going on here, and what has been missed . . . Wait a minute, none of this looks very familiar . . . Lets look at the overall number of posts here, and see if any of this makes sense . . . No, none of this makes sense . . . Ok, lets go back to the latest post, and go over it with a fine toothed comb . . . Wait a minute, that's not right . . . Today's date October 19th is correct . . . But it is not Saturday, it is Sunday, at least in my neck of the woods . . . Ok, not just the day of the week is wrong, but so is the year . . . The year says 2002 . . . Not 2003, but 2002, one year ago today . . . Now that's wierd . . . Not just wierd, but truly bizarre . . . JaMi Yahoo!

And I'm pretty sure it was down, but there is no evidence indicating that any mail was lost; there is at least one message for each day. As is common when Techserv is down, there was a little traffic on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Most of the major writers for the PEDA Forum are also subscribers to protel-users. Generally, we discourage sending the same question to both lists, since almost everyone who is subscribed to protel-users, and is active, also subscribes to the PEDA list, which remains the best place to get support. Usually. But if you don't get an answer quickly from PEDA, and you suspect that PEDA is down (it is privately hosted and controlled by Techserv Inc., a service bureau), the most obvious sign of which would be that your own message does not appear in a reasonable time, you are welcome to query protel-users in addition. Because the day may come when one of our readers will need support, and when we need it we usually need it NOW, I highly recommend that all users join [EMAIL PROTECTED] Normally, you will see very little mail from it. And if you don't want even that, you can set your preferences (or ask the moderator to set your preferences, if you are allergic to logging into yahoogroups) to Special Notices. We have not sent a special notice yet, but if the Protel Users Association ever decides to send a Special Notice, it will be able to do so. You could also set it to No Mail, which would still allow you to post to the list and to read responses on the web. But this does leave the Association with no way to reach you. If you wait until you need support, it may be too late, because the yahoogroups list is member-only and a moderator must approve the new member. Isn't spam wonderful? We used to leave it wide open until the spammers found it. It could possibly take a couple of days for a moderator to get around to approving a request to join.
