The only message I noticed missing was from one person. Since they are |
| 9 |
coming from one person, that is the cause. If the messages was from |
| 10 |
more than one person, then maybe there could be another conclusion. |

Based on posts from others, I suspect you are right. Sad to say but |
| 44 |
mailing lists are not as popular it seems as they once was and one could |
| 45 |
wonder if some of this is designed to make it harder for mailing lists |
| 46 |
to stay active. While Alan's messages in the past were sort of |
| 47 |
spam-ish, it's not really something that should be marked that way. |
| 48 |
They shoulod get through and if the list maintainers think his messages |
| 49 |
should be rejected for some reason, then they should be dealt with on |
| 50 |
the Gentoo end of things. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Either way, at least we know it isn't that some Gentoo server is having |
| 53 |
a problem. That was my main concern. |
