TSGL: Messages not going through ??

[The Computer Whisperer]

Olivia, what would you suggest as a solution / plan of attack?

People have contacted the list owners in regards to this problem but there
has been little/no response.

Maybe the list owners are trying to force a migration to the forum website
by us users, maybe.
