Hello Seekers and Finders. :-) This is just me doing some administrative yak, otherwise know as administrative reminders. I really should do more of this. :-) In the past month and more, I've been experiencing many bounces from our members that use Yahoo accounts to subscribe to the list. The demon mailer (mailer daemon) that monitors distribution for our list, does not defer messages for which it was unable to connect. So if our list server cannot connect with your mail server, then your post gets discarded. I've not removed any of these Yahoo accounts, but rather just endured the many bounces. Oh the sacrifice I make for all of you. <cue violins> Anyway, here is a good opportunity to remind all of our members that we have public archives at The Mail Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/seeknfind%40ashlists.org/ If you are a Yahoo member, you might check into that site now and then and see if you missed anything. For everyone else, the archives are searchable if you want to find something that was posted previously. ~~~ I want to take this opportunity to thank our members who have given of their time to answer questions posed on our list by other members seeking information. A special node to my buddy Dennis (aka Seeker) who has really helped us out in the past couple weeks by answering several questions. Thanks Dennis and to all others who give of their time to help others. :-) As for myself, my time spent on this one list has become a premium. I just no longer have as much time to devote to SeeknFind as I used to. ASHLists.org is the main reason. No longer is it just one list, but I now tend to four lists of my own plus my domain hosts six mailing lists for good friends of mine. To top that off, I am my own webmaster for the ASHLists.org web site. Just a visit to the site map can give you an idea that a lot of my time is used to maintain this site. http://www.ashlists.org/ The NetSites mailing list, co-owned by myself and two good friends, has turned out to require more of my time than I originally anticipated. NetSites is becoming a very prestigious and critically acclaimed "sites" mailing list and I feel a responsibility to devote a share of my time to that list. The POP3 list has become something of an enigma. The POP3 web site at ASHLists has been the most visited site at ASHLists for most of the weeks in the past few months. A lot of people want information about free, remote pop3 servers and are searching for that and finding my list. Still a small list, it nonetheless has been growing at a faster rate than any other mailing list I have at ashlists.org. And lastly, there is my job. I am, to my great misfortune, a USPS worker. Work has been hell and only getting worse. Overtime is on the increase for me and I expect it to get worse between now and the end of next January. You can turn the violins off because none of this I speak of is intended to get your sympathy. I know what I am doing and I am enjoying it. SeeknFind remains the bulwark of ASHLists.org and still gets my first priority among all other endeavors. I just wanted everyone to know that my involvement on SeeknFind is less these days for the reasons I have outlined and hope that you all will be understanding. :-) I am pleased to see that it is not such a great a lose for our list as I see many of our members demonstrate a great improvement in their own searching capability and the ability to answer questions. I find that there is not as much need for me to research each and every question, since it often appears a good answer was had before I ever read the question. :-) ~~~ Let me remind everyone of our autoresponders. To see what I have for you, send a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~ So then, let me just close by giving everyone the unsubscription instructions. Most administrative reminders have unsubscription instructions because the listowner figures that their administrative reminder bored everyone so much that many would want to jump ship. <g> To unsubscribe from SeeknFind, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...and type in the BODY of your message: unsubscribe seeknfind There is a web form you can use to unsubscribe from this list, in lieu of the email method: http://www.ashlists.org/sub.htm Thank you all. You make this the best list in the entire Internet and I am most appreciative. :-) Alan S.
