I will also watch for your address among the ones that occasionally bounce messages back from the list. I am supposed to get an error message for every NCROOTS message that doesn't reach a subscriber. Frankly, there are so many of these, mostly having to do with people's mailboxes being too full or servers being temporarily down, that I simply don't have time to investigate them individually. I'd never get anything else done if I tried to do that. However, if I know that a particular person is having problems, then I'm willing to work on it. Also, remember that you can search the archived messages for this list at any time. Go to http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl and enter NCROOTS as the list you want to search. The archives include all but the last few days (at most) of the messages ever posted to NCROOTS. If you posted something and never saw it, check the archives for your own name, or a few key words from your message, and see if it appeared.
