missing "The Glory Days"

No, there was nothing objectionable at all: both posts were brief, 
interesting, first-hand reminiscences about Jules and the "Lineland" 
era here. They were posts to the list from other listers which were 
cc'ed to me. One of the two posts was definitely under the 10k limit.

There's no technical reason I can see for two separate posts from two 
separate listers (i.e. different people, not just one person using two 
or more email addresses) not to appear on the list, unless, as I said, 
there was a server malfunction for at least an hour, some 82 hours ago 
now. Or a deliberate block was placed on those posts.
