Is it my imagination or is the list still up? (still has everyone on it)

Does anyone here want to take bets that the first, oh, dozen or so messages
on the newly reset list are _not_ about people who have been unsubscribed
for all of an hour clamouring to find out what they missed?

(either that or test messages... :)

It's entirely possible. We could also probably guess that most of the
people who are already resubbed are not living in the US and are
therefore online :)

Well, when I resubbed, I did a review to see who was on. Of 15 people
subscribed, I was the only Aussie (guess I beat you, Geoff :), but there
were two concealed, so I'm not sure. The other 12 people who I could see
were American (Canadian and USians).

Well it's only about 21:30 here in Arizona so you might find a few of us
Yanks about.

Probably - I waited until about 2pm our time to resub.
I bet most of the people already on the list were the ones Mark resubbed
when he reset the list. Personally, that's cheating :)

Not really.
I said I'd be away all weekend, and as he did it at 8PM, I was WELL fast
asleep by then..... What's that? 3 AM BST?
