The numbering scheme in the digest is unresolved and it doesn't look like it will resolved anytime in the near future. We've already had a tiff over this issue with the makers of LISTSERV (the software the list is managed by). Whether we have missing messages may or may not be a function of the numbering scheme (an artifact thereof). In terms of missing messages in the archives, I haven't had a chance to spend some quality time with our server to decipher this problem. I'll get around to it as soon as I can. My employer occassionally expects me to complete work-related computing activities before I tinker with pet projects. I'll see what I can do this weekend ... after I spending some quality time with my Westy and finish the kitchen remodel for the spouse. You guys are great!, but the bottom line is, if I don't keep the spouse happy my palate will suffer for it.

Cheers, Chris Your cheerfull & busy vanagon list admin
