New system works just like the old system. Post
your messages to

austin-ghetto-list@pairlist.net

The other address, a-g-l@yahoogroups.com is our 
backup mail list, to be used when Pair.com screws 
up -- which seems to happen regularly about 
twice a year. but Pair.com fixed it so you
should go back to using it. Note, though,
that the address on the right hand side of
the @ symbol has changed from ando.pair.com
to pairlist.net (see header on the top of
this email).

As to your question about no repost to you,
I would guess that the long latency of the
Yahoo service -- I timed it as taking 45
minutes between sending and receiving --
made it seem to you that it was not reposted.

a-g-l@pairlist.net on the other hand has 
brief latency -- it takes less than a minute 
or at worst a few minutes between sending 
and receiving. In addition with pairlist.net
there is no advertising footer -- SOOOOO ugly 
especially when it is a colored ad.

Hope this helps.
