Good one, Jim. People just don't THINK before they email the list asking where the list went!

Emailing the wetwesties list is pretty effective too - lots of folks there had also realized that Vanagon.com was down (except for one who shall remain nameless, who said he was still getting his Vanagon mail!).

I hope not too many bits fell on Tom's floor. And THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR NOT SENDING OUT ALL THE MISSED MESSAGES!!! I really wasn't looking forward to having to deal with three days of Vanagon mail at once! :-)
