My hypothesis is that some of the people who subscribed to this newsgroup 
via email changed their email addresses and didn't unsubscribe with the 
old one. Therefore, when we "reply to all," our postings get sent to no 
longer existing email addresses. (I get more than one "undeliverable") 
when I post to the group via email. So I suppose I should suggest that if 
any of you email subscribers get a new ISP or email address, cancel your 
old one with this group and resubscribe with your new address.

Infectionately,
Yersinia<---who *knows* she will get undeliverables when she posts this...
