Well.... Occasionally, gerry goes silent for a variety of reasons.
Fifteen years ago we set up the 'spare' vanagon list on the
yahoogroups server for such times. If you haven't gotten list mail in
a few hours, just send the command 'thank you' to listserv@gerry.vanagon.com
. If you don't get a reply within the hour, the server is down. If you
were subscribed to the spare list, you'd probably know why. Sending
messages to vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com asking if the list is down is
kinda pointless. No one will see them until the listserv comes back up.

In this case, 455,000 folks without electricity in the DC area was
probably a contributing cause.

But I could be wrong.
