Richard, There are several hundred emails on the list with many old/new/duplicate email addresses. From time to time I check and have set a number of people I know to be 'real' so that they cannot go into vacation mode. It's not practical to check everyone. All the ROC lists use the same service and it is a fairly widely used service. I personally would recommend to move to a forum with email notifications but people seem to like the email list.

Does ROCannounce go through the same channel?

But there is one unfortunate "feature" of which you should be aware. For reasons that are not entirely clear (it may be triggered by a bounced message), freelists will sometimes take your account and put it into vacation mode, in which delivery of messages is suspended. It is unfortunate not only that it does this, but it does it without warning or notification. So if you have not received roc-chat postings in a while, you should check your account profile to see if it has been put into vacation mode. Obviously this message will not directly help anyone who is already suspended, but please spread the word to anyone you know who might be affected. Thanks. - Greg On Jun 17, 2014, at 8:41 PM, Adrian P. Bailey <adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: I just joined today and I got this one!
