Beverly,

If you sent the previous message to the list, I missed it. If you sent it
to my address, I apologize for not responding (but I don't remember 
getting it).

In short, you have NOT been dropped from the list. You've been subscribed 
the whole while. I suspect there's a techical problem that's preventing 
you from receiving list mail, and as an AOL customer, you're not alone. 
For the past month or two there have been numerous reports that bulkmail 
of various types is getting filtered by AOL, not just for interversity 
lists but for many lists and newsletters around the net.

It's a legitimate spam-fighting measure to filter mail, but one of the 
trade-offs is that the tighter the filter the more legitimate mail it 
tends to catch among the bad stuff. 

I recommend checking your bulkmail or junkmail folder, and if there's no 
ARN-L mail there, ask AOL customer support for help. There's nothing wrong 
with your subscription at this end.

Also, please direct list problems to me at listmom@interversity.org
