FOR DIGEST READERS

["Chris, London" <100423.2040@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Digest is still not functioning so over 100 digest readers
will have just subscribed to the routine list like me, or will do so in the next
few days, or will remain in quiet contemplation.

I am here sharing details of what happened to make it easier for
such readers to pick up the threads.
This is based on downloading (with great difficulty) the 4.3 meg current
archive.

The last post before the collapse was poignantly the one forwarded by
Luciano about "Loony Radio (Argentina)" on Mon 5th Feb -

The first post to the regular list again was the test post sent by
Malgosia on Thurs 8th Feb -

After struggling with the giant current archive file I have pruned it down
on my machine to one from 1st Feb to 5th Feb which is 1.370 meg large

and one  261 K long from the restart on 8th Feb through to

I am willing to make these available preferably through the archives.

But as people will be joining the L'st again from the digest over a period of
time and will have different needs for catching up,  I am copying
this note to Spoons admin in the hope that someone could kindly
prioritise editing the marxism current archive down rapidly to
a manageable size say from the beginning of February or better from
the restart of the l'st.

Thanks to Malgosia and everyone for getting the regular l'st running.
