I got this message. I'm sure others did as well.

Topica is far from the best system. What I found very interesting is that
most of the "problems" which occur in EUforum, have not once appeared in the
OE list. No down time afaik, for example. Nor any mangled messages. Perhaps
its a volume thing with topica??? (the OE list is quiet compared to EUforum)
