I'm not just venting my frustrations with America Online. I'm also explaining
to list members and others why e-mails they may recently have sent me have
not reached me and thus have not been responded to. I cannot exchange ideas
about evolution, systematics, morphology, and the like, if half the
conversation is arbitrarily blocked(!).
