>Theresa Hi Theresa That seems to have worked. If you are having problems, you can check to see if the post arrived in the archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html It takes a few minutes for the post to propagate through the system. But if it doesn't appear, then your post never made it to the SilverList. There may be a problem if your email address doesn't match your SilverList logon. If so, you should receive a reply from Mike that to post to the SilverList, you must subscribe. Of course, this confuses everthing because you are already subscribed and can't figure why you got this message. If you do post, and you don't get the failure message, and it still doesn't appear, then contact Mike and tell him the situation. You are very patient to wait for months. I would start to freak out after several hours, since this kind of failure can be serious and it might be affecting your other emails. This could have potentially serious repercussions. The problem could be anywhere - your ISP may have a failing hard disk, the DSL lines to the central switching office could have heavy leakage due to recent rains, the line card could be starting to fail, and so on. Intermittent failures can be extremely difficult to find. But you are paying for services and you need to complain if you are not receiving them. Also, the problem may be affecting more people than just yourself. So the sooner you start contacting people about the issue, the sooner it can be recognized and the troubleshooting can begin. So I would not wait for months. If you see a problem, then the first thing is to freak out. Realize the issue is serious, and it could be affecting other people than just yourself. This will reinforce your actions so you can go through the inevitable "have you checked the computer is plugged in? If so, reinstall Windows" from those people with heavy Indian accents on the other side of the planet. The first thing these people will do is see you are a woman, and give any kind of explanation to put you off. But that will not solve the problem. I shake my head every time I encounter this. It means the company is completely disorganized, and they will have no clue what the problem is or how to solve it. So the first thing to do is escalate the issue and try to reach someone who has some kind of responsibility to fix the problem, and not simply check the problem solved box on their time sheet. I am an old retired engineer, and I have seen just about every trick they can pull. If you encounter this, and can't get the problem resolved, contact me at mailarchive dot b3p at gishpuppy dot com, and I will ensure the issue gets solved.
