The cause of the 'bounced messages' is still uncertain but, since your messages are being posted to the list, just delete the error message. Our listserve maintainer is aware of the problem. I was involved in a day-long meeting (followed by an after-dinner nap) so I was unaware of the problem. When I finally checked my email (152 messages), there was the problem and four 'probable' explanations...from Monica, Martha, Joanne and Jeff (my choice is the voodoo explanation). :) Thanks, M&M, J&J. For those who were not sure their messages were posted to the list, may I suggest changing your settings to 'repro'. That way, you will see your message as it appears on the list. To do this, send a message to the listserver (not the list) at: [log in to unmask] In the body of the message, type: set parkinsn repro Hope this helps.
