Well the webkahuna.com server, as far as Navigation-l is concerned, is not set up to store or archive messages. The messages posted to Nav-L go to the server and are reflected to the Nav-l membership. But between there and you is another matter. Especially in this day of multi-spam protection. I think you guys are spoiled ;^) Dan Hogan dhhogan1@earthlink.net http://www.offsoundings.info/navl.htm > [Original Message] > From: George Huxtable> To: > Date: 4/4/2006 5:35:28 PM > Subject: Re: The List Status > > Dan Hogen wrote- > > > | As far as I can tell the list is up and running > | > | The Internet is NOT a land line service.
