I didn't get a d-i-g-e-s-t for this l-i-s-t (notice how I'm avoiding 
having the s-e-r-v-e-r interpret my words as l-i-s-t c-o-m-m-a-n-d-s) on 
either April 5 or 6. Then yesterday, April 7, I did receive the dig-est 
(which contained my long p-o-s-t). There was some discussion as to 
problems with the list, and Jonathan Robie verified that the server was 
having problems.

At the same time, though, I received a note from someone in Germany 
stating:

>Adress no longer in use!
>Don't mail any more!!!

Is something going on with b-Hebrew that I need to know about? Or were 
the two days of missing dig-ests simply a one-time glitch? Thanks.

While we're on the subject of a-d-m-i-n-i-s-t-r-a-t-i-v-e topics, could I 
again, on behalf of the many who neither can use attachments and html, 
nor particularly appreciate paying to download them, request that you 
send *no* attachments to the list (even if they *don't* contain a virus 
;-) and post in plain text.

Emphatic agreement with both.


Dan Oglesby wondered:

YES!! Your fascinating post on the early Fathers' realization of the 
deity of Christ was almost unreadable with the lines all broken up, and 
HTML codes intruding everywhere, not to mention high ASCII numbers (curly 
quotes are the most common problem; diacriticals don't work, either) 
coming out as gobbledygook on my screen.
