Martha, I have sent 3 notes to the listserv since joining and have not
received a response back on any one of them.  I have made sure that I am
sending them to the write address (ADSM-L AT VM.MARIST DOT EDU) but do not get
a copy of the note e-mailed to me as a listserv subscriber.  I find it
odd that no one is responding to my notes.  I tend to believe that they
are not getting distributed to the listserv correctly.  Is there any way
of checking this?  Thank you.
