Josh,
See, I told you I was confused!!
That perfectly explains it.
I had subscribed to the wrong digest!
Boy I am surprised that the national list is so small the volume
on it is nothing like on the ba-autox list.
I guess the confusion came from the fact that in
both cases you use majordomo@autox.team.net to subscribe to
any of the lists. I guess I pressed the wrong link from
http://www.sfrscca.org/solo2/autox-links.html or scraped the
wrong command or something.
Thanks again for straightening me out on this.
-Stacey
