Hi Everybody,
Subscribers to NEohioPAL who use an AOL email address have not been
consistently receiving their mail. Several days ago I took the action of
unsubscribing all 700 AOL addresses and encouraging them to resubscribe with a free
yahoo or gmail account.
To date, 100 former AOL subscribers have resubscribed using a new service.
Please help spread the word to your friends and colleagues and assist them
in resubscribing to this list.
Thanks!
Fred Sternfeld

PS - Here is what is on the _FAQ _ (http://www.fredsternfeld.com/faqs.htm)
page of my website regarding this issue:
ATTN: AOL USERS - IMPORTANT NOTICE
Recommended alternative email provider: _yahoo_ (http://www.yahoo.com/)
1) I recently tried to subscribe with an AOL email address, but you rejected
it. Why?
2) You unsubscribed my AOL address. Why?
AOL is only sporadically delivering the neohiopal mail so you are not
receiving the full benefit of the list-serve. Because of this reason, I am no
longer accepting AOL email addresses for subscription. You need to subscribe with
another email address - I recommend _yahoo_ (http://www.yahoo.com/) .
I wrote to the company that runs the "mailman" software (Hostway) for an
explanation as to why AOL was not consistently delivering the NEohioPAL mail and
here is what they sent me...
Hello,
AOL limits the amount of emails any server can send to their servers.
When this limit is surpassed, their block goes into effect. This results in
the bounce back you've received. Unfortunately, there is not much
Hostway can do regarding this, as it is AOL's decision on how many
emails to accept from any one server. Our email administrators,
however, are trying to find a work around for this situation. We
appreciate your patience.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Sincerely,
Adam
Hostway Support Staff
I am gratefull that I finally have an explanation after all of these years
as to why AOL only sporadically delivers the neohiopal mail. The volume they
are talking about from the servers is not just the neohiopal list, it is ALL
the lists-serves that run through hostway.
The only solution to this is for those of you who used to receive the
neohiopal mail via aol (or are trying to subscribe using aol) to resubscribe using
another service. I recommend _yahoo_ (http://www.yahoo.com/) - it is a
wonderful FREE service. It delivers the one-at-a-time postings or the digest
without any html gruel.
