LISTSERV problems

[Dorothy Disterheft]

Dear Colleagues,
On Tuesday, February 2, we experienced some LISTSERV problems here.
which resulted in all of the posted messages being lost. Please, if you
sent me something to post on Tuesday, would you send it again so that it
may be distributed? I would very much appreciate this.

I myself posted a message to HISTLING on Tuesday, which never was
distributed. It acknowledged the
fact that several people wrote to me, asking if I would reconsider my
decision to cut off discussion of genetic language families.
In particular, they wanted to read Part Two of Alexis Manaster Ramer's
promised posting on Nostratic. My message on Tuesday told list members
that I would have AMR post his Part Two, and that they should continue
discussion of the topic, as long as their contributions remained relevant
to historical linguistics, were not redundant, and were of reasonable
length.

The fact that Tuesday's message was lost explains the fact that I
have continued to post messages on this topic despite Monday's announcement.
