Something strange is going on. I posted this message last night, but I
sent it from a different email address. Then I noticed that it wasn't
showing
up on the list, so I used the email address that I used when I registered
with
CCTalk and then it showed up on the list. It seems that my this particular
message was held hostage until it was released by the CCTalk email filtering
police! Maybe that's what happened with the "stolen altair" email from last
year that just showed up again recently.
