Jim,
With regard to this point, could you please inform the Webmaster (Adam)
that the Ontology List is down. I sent the Webmaster (Adam) a note to
this effect yesterday. May I also suggest that if the Webmaster (Adam)
is going to filter his mail, then maybe he should arrange a different
address for his role as Webmaster and his role as Adam.
It would help some,
