Good morning Canie, I received an email from a Lurker, Marian, who has registered a bunch of times but nothing happens and she cannot post. She thinks that the registrations are not being forwarded. Part of her email is pasted below That could explain the lack of new posters (which Earthwaves badly needs).

Lurkers who can't register, you can contact me and I will do one post for you, until the problem is fixed: I am Christopher "Chris" Sorlien and my home email address is chris.sorlien@gmail.com

Darn, now I can't say anything bad about a certain department at Heartland University (not real name of university). The best move I ever made in last 6 years was to not move my permanent position there. I turned in my keys and ID Friday and will resign this week: I would have been gone months ago but waiting for a student I work with to get thesis in library.

"I am a lurker at Earthwaves. Periodically, you or others comment on the number of lurkers and the paucity of posters. Well, I am a lurker who over the past year or more has made several attempts to register in order to post. As you know, you can't post without registering. I register. My information is accepted and no response. This makes me suspect something may have gone wrong with the registration system and requests to register are not being forwarded to Canie. And there is no way for me to contact Canie to tell her so I'm hoping you will."
