Dear Lowlanders,

Apparently a couple of you have been having a hard time getting posting 
submissions through to me, even though there was no subscription problem.  I 
am not sure what caused that, but I am looking into it.

First of all, let me emphasize yet again that if you experience problems of 
that sort or if you suddenly do not get any installments you must not assume 
that I have "booted you out."  If I did so, you would know it, and this 
happens once in a blue moon.  If anyone boots you out it is the server that 
does so automatically after a certain number of tries to deliver mail to 
your address.  So, in any of these cases, please report the problem to 
lowlands-l at lowlands-l.net, and we'll see how we can rectify it.

There is a very remote chance that, despite great care on my part, your 
submissions "fell through the cracks," namely that I erased them along with 
miles of junk mail when I used a different software program on a borrowed 
computer down in California.  (I'm back in Seattle this morning, albeit just 
barely.)  This can happen if the messages are not marked appropriately. 
This is why I have requested that you make sure there is "LL-L" at the 
beginning of the subject line, and this is why I keep asking over and over 
not to change the subject line when you respond to a previous posting. 
PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE SUBJECT LINE OF AN EXISTING THREAD.  Substitutions 
and the absence of "LL-L" (or "Lowlands-L") will only increase the chances 
of your messages going by unnoticed.

Thanks for your consideration and collaboration.

Reinhard/Ron
