Apparently, AOL's SPAM filters are sometimes blocking Tesla list mail. There is not anything Chip or I can do about this. Many people have called and complained to AOL but I am not sure it has done much good. Two people I know of have dropped AOL due to this... All I can suggest is try something like Yahoo's or MSN's free e-mail service as a replacement. Or, free yourself from AOL and get a "real" ISP ;o) Perhaps someone who has AOL knows a trick or fix for this? They "should" have a way to bypass specific senders... Sorry we don't have a great fix for this one, but just wanted to let you know that we know... Sometimes AOL's "highly trained" phone staff blames it on the Tesla list servers, but it is definitly AOL's SPAM filters making the "error" and that is totally beyond our control here. Of course, I realize many people on AOL will not get this either... Cheers, Terry ALSO...........

J.B. and now Bart seem to have fallen victim to this ;-(( Just like AOL, these filters are not too good at filtering and they sometimes think the Tesla list is SPAM =:O So If you suddenly stop getting Tesla list mail for a day or so and the note at: http://hot-streamer.com says the list is up, it may very well be that your ISP is "playing" with SPAM filters. Chip and I cannot help you much here. Have to get on the phone to the ISP and yell at them... Cheers, Terry
