Both came through to me.
I find some of my emails don't get to me, and some of others' emails
don't get to me either (e.g. Razer - but some of his do get through).
There are some problems with emails getting through - they end up in the
archive, but don't get through to the end user. I guess either gmail,
godaddy, or whoever your email front receiver is, might be rejecting,
and lists.cypherpunks.org is not retrying or something.
But I just don't know - I emailed the bounces at l.cp.org address
yesterday, asking what might cause this type of issue.
