Hello Mary Jo,

I have just posted a message to the list, but the numbering seems to have 
disappeared.  It seems a retrograde step.  Would it be possible to 
reintroduce numbering?  Have you asked people's opinions?

Also I've noticed some "out of office" messages on the list.  Surely these 
should be filtered out.

John

Dear List Subscribers,

Welcome to the National Institute for Literacy's new discussion lists. The 
Institute looks to make the discussion list a more critical element of the 
work that we do.  In a few weeks, the moderators will be taking on a more 
proactive role - such as making arrangements for guest participants and 
facilitating discussion activities around a research question or current 
issues. It is our intent to improve the lists by doing more to provide 
opportunities for professional growth, and access to information and 
resources.

The Institute values the communication that has occurred on the lists in the 
past.  We hope that this change enhances this service the lists provide, 
including discussions on all lists in regards to the various topic areas: 
highlighting new research, resources and current issues.

We will be starting off the initial phase to give subscribers the 
opportunity to get familiar with Mailman.  We will share the guidelines for 
the fully moderated list, next week, as well as additional information as to 
how a fully-moderated list works.  We will keep each list informed as to the 
scheduled changes to the lists.

Thank you for your assistance in helping us make this transition smooth.
