Paula--
I'm not a frequent poster but have never had a problem with one of my
infrequent posts. Also, I've noticed several times that people post an
email saying their first post never appeared, yet I've seen both posts...
perhaps the problem is not on the freelists side....
On the other hand, ease in searching the archives would be nice....
Definitely a worthwhile discussion.

Subject: [va-bird] Posting problems on this listserv
Va-Birders,
I am becoming increasingly concerned that many regular contributors
to this list have trouble posting. It seems like Joe Coleman often
must have someone else send his messages and announcements. I, too,
have had problems that mysteriously appear and just as mysteriously
disappear. These problems are frustrating and annoying, and with no
real explanation or reason to expect this to clear up, I would like
to publicly express dissatisfaction with FreeLists and wonder if the
moderator, Paul Mocko, might investigate alternative servers. The
archives of FreeLists are also cumbersome to use and it is impossible
to effectively narrow a search. It is very easy and quick finding an
old post on the public archives of MDOsprey's HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM.
Thanks, Paul. This is no criticism of you, but I wonder if you could
address these issues. I wonder how widespread the posting problems
actually are and would welcome input from others.

I'm resending as this did not go through yesterday (as most of my
messages haven't lately):
Please join us on Sat., August 26, for the Loudoun Wildlife
Conservancy's regular (every 4th Sat. of the month except Dec.)
bird walk at the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship....
