Yes, I did finally get it.  I received your email today also.

I logged onto the BBS today to see an acknowledgment from the sysop that
there have been some feed problems.  I've been seeing almost zero
messages from anyone here for months - including most of the regulars
like Jan Siren and you.  Every time I would ask about problems, it would
temporarily improve or I would be told it was working fine.

Since I posted my original message above, there have been 38 messages,
most on a single topic, and from only eight different people (not
including my messages). I'm thinking that my BBS' feed problems and
probably being cut off from some regions (like the one Jan is in) is the
cause of my not seeing very many messages. Can others share their view of
how the traffic is holding up in other areas? Maybe just a change of BBS
will help.  I changed to my current BBS a few months ago when my previous
one did not seem to be able to supply a reliable feed either.  I could
use some suggestions on other good BBSs that I can reach through the
Internet - preferably with a QWK door.
