I, too, have suffered from loss of the Parkinson list, and it was trully frustrating. But with the help of various list members and the technical help of servers, I learned that when a server's system is shutdown for maintenance or involuntarily, a rejection notice is sent Bitnet, which in turn drops the member's name from their list. This is a technical problem which some systems are working on. But in the meantime, the only way I have found to maintain an active status is to re-subscribe any time I fail to receieve the usual Parkinson's letters. You'll find out within 24 to 36 hours. Hope this is helpful. A. Lee Belcher / [log in to unmask] On Sun, 7 May 1995, Gaston L Schmir wrote: > It's been several weeks since I last received any posting from this most > interesting list.
