Subject: Administration: Viewing Stone Mail List

>Hello;
>
>First of all let me wish everyone a happy holiday. I hope everyone and their
>families is enjoying themselves.
>
>Second, I must apologize for the interruption of the viewing stone mail
>list.
>
>What happened is that the computer service people here at Triumf changed a
>whole bunch of things on the mail servers that this mailing list runs on and
>in the process managed to kill the viewing stone mail list and delete the
>list of subscribers. I've gotten them to recreate the list but the latest
>list of subscribers that I have is dated September 22 so any changes after
>that date are lost (the delay in restarting the list was me hoping that they
>would find a more recent list of subscribers). So if you unsubscribed
>between then and now, you are back on the list and will have to unsubscribe
>again. My apologies. To do that, visit;

>http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Garden/1666/vslist.htm
>
>If your friends signed up for the list between these dates, they will need
>to subscribe again as well. Get them to visit the address above.
>
>As far as I can tell, the last message that went out the mail list was dated
>November 10th so anything you sent to the list between then and now probably
>didn't make it and you will need to resend it.
>
>If you would like to read the archives of the viewing stone mail list,

>Again, my apologies.
