Posts to the main list often fail to appear, only to turn up in orphaned form on the digest, sometimes days later. I have a searchable set of posts for about the last eight years or so, and have noticed this phenomenon recently. It means information can be missed by its intended audience, and it can disrupt the continuity of the conversation. Well, such as it is these days anyway. Posts also used to be organised into yearly volumes, reset at the start of January each year. This was useful to contain a search to a specific year. Unfortunately this no longer happens. Volume 15 started on the 4th of January 2011 and is now up to 850 digest posts. In fairness, mosts of Smoe's lists are now antediluvian to the point of obsolescence; the web having moved to newer technologies. Ours is probably the most active of their lists these days. As for Gustafson, I should point out that, almost 18 hours on, no news resource has yet confirmed his passing, which I find surprising given his eminence in Merseybeat, art rock, p**g r**k and other genres. Of course, it is the weekend, so they may have been slow to react. Here's Google's news feed: http://bit.ly/1q3qda3 A few doubts have been raised on Twitter as to its veracity, as the news seems to have been sourced from one Facebook post. Everything else, including Wikipedia, is merely a repeat of that original post. https://twitter.com/tawalker/status/510885239661793281 Sadly I suspect the story will be proven true, but it would be good if the press were to offer a confirmation and appreciation of this very versatile and influential player.

There is some practical advice here: http://marketingland.com/email-senders-stymied-yahoo-mail-79442 You mail will almost certainly get bounced if you have a yahoo.com address but use another email provider's servers (such as Gmail) or to send it. Check your server settings in your mail client or webmail settings if you think you are affected.

I did not receive my own post from earlier today and I am on a virginmedia mail service provided by gmail - no yahoo in sight. It's astonishing to think that even a Johnny-come-lately like me has been on the list 15 years and I would hate to see it die (from technical obsolescence or underuse). The reality is that we have no right to expect a service of that vintage to continue. It's positively prehistoric in tech terms and despite all Coleen's behind the scenes efforts on our behalf, the sporadic/dwindling participation suggests that folks have found other channels. I personally just can't bring myself to consider the Facebook option and I'm way too verbose for twitter. So here's to the Avalon List. Long may it continue! Just FYI we Jocks already have our own TLD. Dot scot went live on July 15 for "pioneer" sites and becomes widely available on September 23rd. Anybody out there got dibs on roxy.scot? All the best.

But this list has never been about the mechanics. Or even Roxy Music particularly. It's been about the people here. Our relative lack of numbers gave us some exclusivity. Or were we just shepherded here to keep our obsession away from decent society? Hmmm... How about the hours spent talking about Floris or Phytofix or white socks or cellists or b-sides or bassists or backing singers or bootlegs? The lyrical analysis? The trouser analysis? The conspiracy theories? The flame wars? Racing home from a gig to write your review? Who remembers Jason Greshes or Rhode Island Red or Webgal or Peanut or eman or Monquiboy or Betsy Fowler or Decophile or Will Frechette or Jim Spellman or Arnie or Grant Goggans or M or David Firmin or Han or Daniel Atterbom or a phalanx of other regular contributors (apologies for any omissions)? Even dear old Martineaux has lapsed lately. How about Flangebracket or Mr Avalon or Lawn-gate or Rhett Davies' niece? DavdMock's ENORMOUS sig file? The wonderfully Machiavellian Jimmy Vapor (who described Avalon as 'this glam-rock toilet bowl')? KBP vs Tom Wallace? Kwil loves Michiel? Roger Eno's PR Machine? The comedy stylings of JFRoxy? Reecey's microscopically-detailed European travelogues? Statto? (wait, that was me...) There are a few names there for the greybeards. Remember the twin wonders that were 'A Mad Affair' I and II? How about 'A Perfumed Sigh' or 'A Rhapsody Divine'? The palpable excitement of attending the BBC recordings? What about the CD Trees? Or Kicki's list website? How many people got the seats they wanted for the reunion or the inside griff on new material via this place? Or got to meet like-minded strangers at gigs who became friends just because of this silly obsession? Or indeed people you will never meet who you know better than many friends? And then there was the drinking and the, um, 'horizontal liaisons'. Don't think there wasn't... Anyhoo, we still have 154 members on the main list and 112 on the digest now. Allowing for dual registered members, ghost entries and lurkers, probably 100 odd members now, quite a way from its heyday around the turn of the century, but there is an astonishing hardcore who have been here almost from the start. I know it's been 15 years of my life. And it's been bloody brilliant, Avalon has served us well, and I think it has a few years left in it yet. Let us hope BF has too...
