Bruce Moon said in a message to All:

 BM> I just wanted to let all my opponents, et al, know that I've been 
 BM> down for a week or so with some horrendous cold/flu concoction. I 
 BM> apologize for the delay, but I expect to start sending moves again 
 BM> in a day or two. 

Glad that you're back with us, Bruce.

 BM> I sent or resent moves to virtually all my opponents on 25 Mar or 
 BM> 26 Mar. Apparently very few of these messages got through, or else 
 BM> the replies never made it back to me. This has been going on for 
 BM> about a month, and I have been resending vigorously. In some 
 BM> cases, the opponent has been resending to me, but has not seen any 
 BM> of my resends.

It's quite possible that a mail processing link between you and George
Peace (and there are quite a lot of them!) could be losing mail, or even
have a broken link in the CHESS echo.

I've not seen anything from you personally in a while, and our game has
been having problems for a few months now. Might I suggest sending one
netmail with multiple cc's to each of the following addresses, requesting a
verification reply:

356/18  351/1  153/752  153/716  153/920  106/6018

The replies you get should give you an indication as to where your mail is 'dying'.

 BM> Remember, I can be NETmailed at 1:356/4.27,

Although, depending on the nature of the problem, it could be eating
netmail as well as echomail.
