For future reference, any listmember can do a 'self-test' -- without posting anything to the list -- as follows: Send a message to <listserv@sus.csuchico.edu> which reads: REVIEW OPE-L If listserv responds, then you know it is up and accepting commands. If listserv does _not_ respond it does _not_ necessarily mean that listserv is down -- it could be simply delaying the distribution of messages and then distributing them as a batch. This sometimes happens. When in doubt, the rule should be: wait, be patient, and always make a copy of any messages you send to the list -- just in case it is 'lost' you have a copy and don't have to re-write a message. This, of course, can be frustrating and always seems to happen in the middle of an intense and lively exchange. But, it happens sometimes -- for our server (at California State University -- Chico) as well as other servers. In solidarity, Jerry arrived in Peaks Is. from Isle of Shoals today
