I sent sevaral posts since these last 3 days, with no apparent success.
Moreover, since the last 48 hours, I don't receive any further post from
the list which is, statistically speaking, at least disturbing.
Here I try again the contact with another copy of one of my last posts
(MAPS problem) to make sure I receive at least this copy through the list.
Sorry if redundant.

Best,

Hello Alex, Walter, Bernd, Christian, List,

The same here in France. Last issue received: October 2004 (Neuschweinstein)
and also the strange message as well!
At least the mess and delay seems to be independent on the country and is
random (normal for a mess...)
I decided so far to "wait and see" until either I receive the missing
issues or
a reminder for 2005 subscription.
Needless to say that I did subscribe for 2004, despite the strange message.
I agree that some official contact (complain ?) should be made, e.g. in
Tucson.
You have all my support. I am affraid that our heavy teaching period over here
in February is preventing me attending Tucson until my retirement...

Cheers,

Zelimir
