The numbering scheme in the digest is unresolved and it doesn't look like
it will resolved anytime in the near future. We've already had a tiff over
this issue with the makers of LISTSERV (the software the list is managed
by). Whether we have missing messages may or may not be a function of
the numbering scheme (an artifact thereof). In terms of missing messages
in the archives, I haven't had a chance  to spend some quality time with
our server to decipher this problem. I'll get around to it as soon as I
can. My employer occassionally expects me to complete work-related
computing activities before I tinker with pet projects. I'll see what I
can do this weekend ... after I spending some quality time with my Westy
and finish the kitchen remodel for the spouse. You guys are great!, but
the bottom line is, if I don't keep the spouse happy my palate will suffer
for it.

Cheers, Chris
