Okay, that explains it. Well, it explains where the list messages have
been going, but it doesn't explain why they went there. Be sure to mark
all of them as not spam. Every now and then, when I think of it, I visit
my spam folder and I always find one or more emails that don't belong
there. I am careful to not delete them from my spam folder. That
generates a spam report and teaches your filters that they really are
spam. I mark them as not spam and move them to my in box. The reason you
received that one message from me is because of some gremlin work on
myself. At a certain point in time any reply I made on a Freelists
message started going privately. That includes this list and both
Bookshare lists. I never did figure out why this was happening. So when
I am replying to a message in a Freelists group I started doing a reply
to all. I expect that means that you and others get duplicate messages
from me, but I am too lazy to visit the address fields to delete any
extraneous addresses. I figure that it is probably less trouble for the
recipients to delete the extra messages than it is for me to delete the
extra addresses. So the reason you got the reply this time is that it
was probably the private copy.

“Every aspect of Nature reveals a deep mystery and touches our sense of wonder
and awe. Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to
nonexistent knowledge and envision a Cosmos centered on human beings will
prefer the fleeting comforts of superstition. They avoid rather than confront
the world. But those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the
Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will
penetrate its deepest mysteries.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

I just found a bunch of blind democracy messages in my junk folder. I have
no idea how they got blocked and sent there. I've just unblocked the sender
on one of them which, theoretically, should mean that the list is now
unblocked. I don't know how that one message of Roger's got through to me,
unless he sent that privately. I forgot to check. Now we'll see what happens
with this message. Will I receive a copy?
