You may want to use
http://lists.extropy.org/pipermail/extropy-chat/2006-November/date.html

for that research, as several more posts than I got in the last coupla
days have shown up there.  I don't use Hotmail, either, of course.

Part of the drop rate to me might be explainable due to some quirk
of the list, since I just joined (I've been absent since the list
was "extropians@").
