No, you're not the only one. As I have occasionally re-read (other) stuff by mistake, I made a point of noting the Dec 2004 dates too. I wondered if Kmail, shawmail, or some other as-yet-unnamed network glitch caused the hiccups. And then, within a day or so, the list digest feed(s) seemed to dry up for a day and half. I'm used to scanning two or three freebsd-questions' digests/day, and noticed I suddenly had all this extra time. :c) The digests resumed again overnight [two dated 'Today' at 3:35 & 5:00 am, if anyone's interested], but the volume of traffic still seems severely reduced. I hope this info is of some use.
