Ancestry and pretty much every site it hosted was taken down last week by a Denial of Service attack. I have no details. But in order to protect against such a thing happening in the future, all the sites stayed down while the architecture was reworked. Again, I have no details. Maybe the mailing lists are back up. If you're reading this, yes! If not, not so much... Karen

Aha! That must be the reason! Couldn't figure out why not a single message from groups on Rootsweb and Jewishgen - both hosted by ancestry came through!
