Thanks for mentioning this, Vicky.  None of the listeners saw the
problem, just posters.  But I'll explain to everyone since everyone is a
potential poster and may someday see this.
 
Hockey-L *had* a subscriber (at USATODAY) and distributions to that
subscriber were, for whatever reason, undeliverable.  The mail system
there (at USATODAY) should have rejected the mail back to Hockey-
L's LISTSERV address, but it instead bounced it back to the "From:"
address, the poster (Vicky in this case).
 
So, Vicky's contributions to Hockey-L were sent properly and were
distributed properly to all subscribers (and redistributions) ... except to
the offending mail system (at USATODAY).
 
Whenever such a thing happens (you get one or more pieces of e-
mail due to your posting to one of the college hockey lists at
Maine.edu, please forward it in it's entirety (including the entire e-mail
header) to me ([log in to unmask]) so that I may correct the problem.
 
Until someone does that (or I post and see the problem myself), other
posters will get a "bounce message" also ... and probably be confused
and frustrated by it.
 
In this case, the problem was corrected at about 4:15pm yesterday.
 
Thanks for your participation in the college hockey lists,
wayne
