[meteorite-list] -- SPAM -- Member Having Problems Posting

[John.L.Cabassi]

G'Day List
I appreciate everyone's input on this problem. One thing that I have noticed 
recently is that I receive posts through my email and normally after reading 
them, I delete them. Then I go to the met list site to read some lengthy 
posts or check on a sale that somebody has posted. But when I get to the 
list site, 40% of them that I receive on any particular day does not show up 
on the list site.  I use RoadRunner and don't have a problem with receiving 
email from the list, but I was just wondering if people are having the same 
problem on the met list site. I received 9 emails in regards to this, only 4 
show up on the met list site even though they were sent to the met list 
site.

Cheers
John
