Alessandro,

It may have something to do with your messages being filtered into the SPAM folder.  I have been
lurking in this group for a few years trying to keep abreast of the technology.  Of those that post
to the list, you (unfortunately) are the only one who gets sent to the SPAM folder, automatically,
might I add (this is not by my design).  Perhaps others who might be interested in what you have to
say are finding your messages mixed in with the trash also?
