Just as a follow up to a post I made a couple of weeks ago, I still do not see any posts to this list from people with yahoo and aol addresses. Only way I find out is if someone replies to them. Every week or so, I get an automated email from the list administration that my membership has been disabled due to too many bounces. Fortunately, there's a link that turns it back on immediately so not a huge deal, just irksome that perfectly genuine emails to the list are somehow bounced for some list members.
Heather is aware of the problem but it seems there's little that can be done to fix it.
