In reference to the person who could not post to the WRG website but could see others postings; I had the same problem this year and I solved it by unsubscribing and then subscribing. I do not know how I got broken from the list but I did have a new internet address- maybe that had something to do with it. I believe there are many list members who have this problem as I can not believe the Whitneys have lost any interest in genealogy. I was told also that if the server does not match your address as a list member it will not accept your post. This must have been a safety measure to shield list members from all these spam messages. You know the ones- about increasing the size of various body parts. James Whitney
