[pct-l] what happened to PCT-l ... and the message traffic that once lived here

[Jim Banks]

I also had a similar experience where I was getting some of the posts but not others.  I seem to be getting them all now although there are a lot fewer than in the past.  One way you can check to see if you are getting the posts is to go to the archives.  They are all posted there very shortly after the email is sent.

I reluctantly signed up for Facebook about a year ago just so that I could view the PCT related Facebook pages.  During hiking season you can get some useful information about trail conditions, but most of it is just stupid and juvenile.

Over the same period, I have had a similar experience.  But as of two weeks ago, when I signed up with a different email address,  it seems to be working.  I am getting maybe 5 individual posts a week — way down from when I used to get up to 5 posts a day.  So now are there only about 5 individual posts per week, or am I not getting them all?

I, too, LOVE the PCT-L and it has been so helpful over the last 10 years in my section hiking further and further away from my Spokane home.  Thanks, Brick, for this wonderful tool you have provided us all!
