This ng really has nothing to do with the mailing list. That's why I
don't recomment the list unless the posters, including me, are out of
ideas. Even then I feel a bit presumptuous doing that, though no one
here seems proprietary or insulted.
When people subscribe to any of the lists, they send a Welcome email
which lists their Facebook page which gives the current status.

I was searching for someone about 5 years ago and had what I thought
was trouble, so I signed up for Facebook, but it didn't help, so I
suspect no profile is needed for this page either. ****Alert. I
thought to log out and try to find someone, and I can't even get to
the search page, only the Signup Page, so I guess one does need a
profile. That shows what 5 years can do.

This doesn't seem to be true anymore.

Which means this would not be true, unless there is another way.

But this would still be true, either way.
>Thus, if everything seems to be running fine, there's no need to go check the Facebook page. But if things seem to be mysteriously quiet, checking the Facebook page should be your first step (even before trying to contact the Listmoms; if the site is down, you might not be able to contact us, anyway).

The one just above is not current but the first one is.

AFAIC, one shouldn't look a gift-horse in the mouth.
I'm just amazed that one person has so much patience and so much
unpaid-for time, especially since she seems to have a paid job for 40
or more hours a week. Most people on Usenet answer questions
occasionally when they know the answer or even frequently, but she
answers far more most days than anyone else I've seen, and she doesn't
object when the topic isn't specifically Eudora, and her answers will
often be detailed, often far more detailed than I think should be
necessary. And you may not have been there long enough to notice, but
she'll answer the same question over and over, even after pointing out
that the answer was already posted in the same thread iirc.

Very good.
Also, that should encourage others here who have trouble with Gmail,
etc.
