Yes, quite a few people will not have gotten e-mail from our
mailing lists.

Reason: One IT person decided to improve our server's firewall
	which has been active for 21 hours; now remedied ..... ;-(

The queue of outgoing e-mails has been emptying since 10:30 MET
now, and hopefully all mails will have been sent within a few
more hours.

I'm sorry about this (and have complained with our IT staff (BCC'ed)).

OK.  May this explain alone the long silence I had from the list since January
12 nothing (except today 18 when I receive the daily batch -hope things will go
on smoothly now) -see mail copy below? I just got the information above
incidentally going through the January archives  via internet to check batches
that I did not receive.

Thanks to the list manager for coping with those troubles (guess this work is
not really rewarding to him...).

Best regards,

Patrick Giraudoux
