The mirror of the list archive at <a href="http://www.auditory.org/postings.html" moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.auditory.org/postings.html</a> is unaffected, but it is updated only sporadically. I will work to get the mirror updating automatically and promptly again.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>(2) When you post to the list, you get an email response from the listserv requiring confirmation of your post (an anti-spam measure). You used to be able to confirm by clicking a link in that message (which was convenient, but has fallen foul of the site blocking). Now, the only working way to confirm your post is to "reply" to the confirmation email with a message containing OK. </div> <div><br> </div> <div>Sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope this won't seriously impact the usefulness of the list.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Best,</div> <div><br> </div> <div> DAn.</div> <div><br> </div> </div> </blockquote> <br> </body> </html>
