Hi Al

Yes, I have noticed both things. The 'no new content' messages are 
particularly puzzling. Also just now and then for me at least, the digest 
numbering skips one forward - I'm not sure if a digest was missing or if 
the numbering system is at fault. For example, I didn't receive Vol 5 Issue 
147. I haven't changed my email client or ISP for ages, so it's hard to 
believe that it's happening at my end.

List Mom - any comment?
