Moderator's Note: newsgroup delays

[Jonathan Thornburg [remove -animal to reply]]

Dear newsgroup participants,

My university has once again "upgraded" its central mail server this
past weekend. It looks like I'm not getting any incoming E-mail,
including s.a.r submissions. (I'm not even getting any spam!)

I apologise for the disruption in newsgroup activity. I believe that
submissions are being queued at the mail server, and will eventually
reach me once I get the current problems sorted out.

Meanwhile, just think of this as like waiting for more Pluto data

except that hopefully the wait won't be quite so long. :)

ciao,

at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police
plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable
that they watched everybody all the time." -- George Orwell, "1984"

Dear newsgroup participants,

The E-mail problems I described in a moderator's note yesterday appear
to be solved, and I have now processed all the queued submissions that
I've (belatedly) received.

Now back to discussion of astronomy!
