Okay.

First off, I apologize for all this back mail that's suddenly hitting a
list. This is NOT a conspiracy to fill up your mailbox.

Mark could explain why it happens better, but my basic understand of it is
this - the box that Jackpoint.org (not www.jackpoint.org) runs on gets
pretty overloaded at times, especially with the older Mailman software that
we have now upgraded. When it used to get overloaded, it would basically
"Drop messages into the void".

So, what happened recently is the void came back, for a reason I'm not sure
about yet. We'll probably know more about this situation when Mark finds
out about it, which should be tomorrow morning..

This will hopefully be an isolated incident, and we were already looking
into upgrading the box that jackpoint.org runs on, so problems such as this
will not happen in the future.

For the couple of you who are unsubscribed and are getting this mail via
BCC, you have *not* been resubscribed, but the mails have been sitting in
the queue with everyones address on them since they were originally sent,
so that's why you're still getting them. If they bother you that much, take
a few minutes to add a filter to your email client, and simply send all
mail directed to shadowrn@*********.org into your trash.

Hope to have some more answers for everyone shortly,
Adam Jury
ShadowRN Assistant Fearless Leader
