Hi, Yesterday was the Thanksgiving holiday in the US and today is Black Friday a traditional Christmas shopping event so you can expect discussions to be down. Did you check the pending files to see if they go stuck there? I've never seen this happened... but. It's also possible that mail delivery to the lists is messed up -- that I have seen happen. Unfortunately, that's all I can offer.
