What is happening is that your overpaid and under worked list admin is 
getting around to dealing with a many thousands of messages back log of 
list posts that are held for inspection, needing to be checked to see if 
they are legitimate or not.  Yes, the events may be over, but I send 
them on just to get them in the archives.  Maybe some day someone will 
be searching for that specific information in tracking the history of a 
car or something.  You never know.

The backlog was over 11,000, now it is down to 4400.  Progress. Also 
making progress on getting more mail though the numerous hoops gmail 
requires before they deliver a message, so some people may be seeing 
increased mail flow.

Next up is getting the searchable archives [ 
http://autox.team.net/archives ] working properly once again. Something 
happened 2 years ago, I have yet to deal with it. We shall see.

Actually I am surprised that the Team Net lists have lasted this many 
years with such a scatter brained procrastinator behind the curtain.
