Hmmm, I'm not sure why you are not receiving posts by email. Usually if
there an error sending a message or a message "bounces" back from an ISP, I
will receive an error report. I have not received any error reports tonite.

I reviewed your subscription setup and it looks perfectly normal. After
subscribing, did you receive the automated "Welcome" email?

Assuming you are receiving email from other sites, one possibility that
comes to mind is that your ISP might possibly be blocking all email from
lsoft.com. This has been an intermittent yet recurring problem with some
ISPs who erroneously confuse lsoft email with spam email, and then block the
sending domain or IP address.In those cases, the email is not necessarily
always bounced back; instead, the ISP may just flush it and I would never
see an error.

Try emailing *** with INFO REFCARD as the only text
in the body of the message. That command does not even require you to be a
subscriber. It should email you back with a FAQ of list commands. If that
works, it may mean your subscription has something odd going on with it, so
we might have to delete it and re-add it. If that doesn't work, then there
is a more pervasive problem between the listserver, your ISP, and/or your
email system.
