Google and other 'list mirrors' are doing so without the permission of the 
original list owners and normally refuse to refrain from doing so what is 
displayed is purely what they do actually read on-line, so it's not unusual for 
them to miss some messages. While it may seem convenient at times, subscribing 
direct to the list is to be encouraged ....
