[Blindtlk] CARS List Was Re: ford museum tour

[Cindy Handel]

I'm subscribed to the CARS list, but never receive mail.  I just checked my 
settings, and they're set to receive mail.  It doesn't come to my inbox and 
isn't stopped by my spam filter.

Has the list been active?  What could the problem be?

hi,

ok, a list was created and i am not completely correct.
they talked about creating a web site back in 2006. was it ever created?
i can't subscribe to every list.
with the obvious connection and no tours arranged, you'd think the cars
group would have been all over this museum.
