[Healeys] Off-topic: The List

[Greg Lemon]

In my early days of participating in the list, about 1999, it behaved for me as Bob described in his original post, my response or original question would appear minutes to many hours later, sometimes, actually fairly often, answers would appear before questions.  That all stopped for me when Mark did one of his upgrades several years ago, and now for the most part everything pops up quickly and in order (for me at least).  I have used roadrunner email since before I started participating on the list, it uses a POP3 server (I don't really know what that means other than I know Microsoft keeps making it harder and harder to use POP3 email with each new software iteration) using Windows Live Mail as my email client.

Anyway it has worked and played well with the list for quite some time  (unless Mark has been pulling knobs pushing buttons behind the curtains like a crazed Wizard of Oz  to keep me going without my knowledge) but I suppose if you aren't a Time Warner Cable subscriber it isn't an option for you.

I created a separate GMail account after the list was having trouble getting through to my Yahoo account.  That worked for a while, but I'm not getting copies of my own emails, either.  I do get an acknowledgment that I've made a post, which always goes direct to my spam folder.  Sometimes, I'll go to the archive to see if the post has made it through.  Don't know a solution unless it's to go back to AOL.  If it's good enough for EditorGary and the head of the CIA, who am I to quibble?

Rick Neville

  Maybe, but I don't think so.  I get emails from elsewhere almost instantaneously, and Comcast doesn't discriminate (unless I flag a source as spam).  As much as I like the upgrades Mark has done, it used to work better for me; e.g. no more than a couple minutes to get replies.

  Unfortunately I have experienced the same conditions that Bob Spidell refers to.  Perhaps creating a separate gmail account is the way to go.

  I haven't experienced your symptoms. But I did have to open a separate gmail account to make my ISP cooperate with the list. -Roland

  Unlike in the past, my emails from the List--including bounces of my sent emails--are coming in slowly, sporadically, and out of order.  This makes following a thread much more difficult; e.g. I often see replies to my posts before I receive my own post (probably because they're from people hitting 'Reply All' and sending directly to me).



  Are others having this problem?  I've been using the same ISP--Comcast--for many years and, if anything, the bandwidth and responsiveness have improved greatly, but the Healey List is getting harder to follow.
