DJ,
I noticed that I stopped getting messages on 9/2 (I think), and went
to the website to see if I was still listed. When it told me I wasn't
on the list, I guessed that I had goofed up something with the
automated message I had received a few days before. My understanding
of THAT message was that if I did nothing, I stayed subscribed. So, I
just figured I had misunderstood, and resubscribed myself.
I apologize for not sending you, or someone else, a message. I try
not to bother busy people with simple questions (unless I don't like
the person ;-) so I thought it better NOT to mention.
If I ever notice something like this happening again, what do you
recommend that I do?
