Do I really have to answer this again???

On occasion, gerry, the vanagon list server, takes a vacation.  When
this happens, you can send all the "Where'd the list go?" messages
you want to gerry.vanagon.com and with luck, they'll get queued and
be delivered WHEN THE SERVER COMES BACK UP.  With a little less luck,
the bits from the messages all fall out of the 'tubes' and end up on
the floor at Tom C's house. Then Mrs C then has to sweep them up and
toss them as it's quite difficult, if not impossible, to pour them
from the dustpan back into the Internet.

Knowing this, way back in 1996, when the list made its transition
from lenti.med.umn.edu (good lord.... It's been ten years and I still
remember that address....) we made alternative arrangements.

Join the vanagon@yahoogroups.com list.  When gerry steps out for a
few days, the folks that are on that list KNOW what's going on. They
also have access to 965 other gerry listmembers. The yahoogroups list
sole reason for being is to disseminate vanagon type information when
gerry.vanagon.com is unavailable. Using it also helps keep Tom's
floor clean.

I hope that this clears up any confusion.

Jim
