No the 'not subscribed' messages are from the list. I get an email 
saying that the message bounced and the reason was only subscribers can 
post.  The time before this happened, the message that bounced was a 
reply I was making to a thread I started.  I pointed this out to the 
moderators. They looked and saw I was correct, but they could still not 
find me in the database of subscribers, go figure.  They must have 
subscribed me because after the email exchange I can post again. I use 
gmane on 3 other lists and never have had the problem there.

I have mine set to dl a max of 2000 and never seemed to have a problem 
with it and I haven't done that in quite awhile.

Thanks for the link to gmane discuss, I'll take a look at it.

Regards, Jim
