I just wrote to Russell Nelson (who runs the lego-robotics@crynwr.com mailing
list) and asked if he knows anything about this.  Hopefully we'll know more
later.

In the meantime, near as I can figure, it looks like the lego-robotics
@crynwr.com mailing list went offline sometime on Saturday, December 4.
The last message it sent this direction was:

   http://www.lugnet.com/news/raw.cgi?lugnet.robotics:8826

Oddly, it hasn't bounced any of the mails it's been receiving in the other
direction (from lugnet.robotics@lugnet.com).  Again, Russell should be able
to shed some light on this.  Most likely, all of the messages are queued up
for delivery, and people subscribing through that gateway will get a deluge
of mail when the list comes back up.

All of the lugnet groups, its newsserver and its mailserver are still running
of course (that's how you're seeing this :-) so if you're reading this today
via the web or NNTP and you really prefer email, you can always subscribe
directly (digest or immediate delivery) via the lugnet news-by-mail facility:

   http://www.lugnet.com/news/mail/

and you'll be all set.  Then when the other list comes up, you'll still be
all set, but you'll also receive the additional traffic that list brings.

So that's why messages stopped being exchanged between LUGNET and Russell's mailing list. Russell rebooted (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.admin.general)
