As non-luddite as I may be and as accustomed to both Google and Yahoo groups as I am, I prefer this group as is. When I signed up a little over a year and a bit ago, I had no difficulty joining, as Linda Hutchinson gave me quite nicely worded meticulous instructions to follow. I followed them here and was subscribed, reading and posting on my first attempt.
Given the number of emails in my box this morning from CH... I don't think there are is missing mail and if there is... check your spam folder, that's where some of mine ends up. Failing that, check your server's spam folder and have them whitelist your CH mail.
As my Daddy always said, if it ain't broke, fixing it is a waste of time.
That and a buck seventy one will get you a Timmy's double double.

I agree with Doug -- even with a few warts and pimples -- it works
