The problems with closed lists relying on a single human for forwarding and filtering... Couldn't he just let people post in his absence? It kind of detracts from a list if it disappears for weeks at a time on a regular basis. Also there are delays, and then there's Perry decisions that a discussion is no longer worth persuing when contributors are still interested to discuss.

Let me clarify that. A while ago, Perry got sick. The list was down for quite a while. Then he got better, and the list came back. I bet that's what's happening now. If he's not in jail. :-).
