Re: [Harp-L] Change in Yahoo archive

[Doug Schroer <dougharps@xxxxxxxxx>]

G, I'm familiar with the ads that have a "Continue to message" link, and never have had trouble with this.  The ads that are standing alone when I click to read an email are the smaller ads found on the right in postings.  The email text, usually to the left of the ad, will be missing.  Recently I revisited some of the postings that had been empty, and the text was there!  Then I found new emails in which the text was missing (just an ad to the right), but if I clicked unwrap, the text would appear.  I still don't know what is up with it, but I have figured out how to read it online if the text appears to be missing...  
 
But enough about the new interface.  I have figured out how to continue to read on the web (I also tried using the Harp-L Archive site) and can continue my reading and very rare posting. 
 
It IS awkward having to scoll to the bottom to read chronologically.  But the content is always interesting, and I have picked up a lot of information here, on harptalk, on harpon, on Slidemeister, on Mike Will's diatonic site, and on your Chromatic site.  Another resource is Bluesharp.org.  
 
I started out with Tony Glover's book in the 70's, and self taught beyond that, listening to a lot of music, harp and otherwise.  The above internet pages are a great learning resource, and when I'm asked for lessons during a gig (lessons I don't give, lacking time and lacking an organized teaching approach) I refer the people to the above resouces and offer to give free suggestions during breatks at gigs if they get stuck on something.

Hi Doug,
When you hit an email in Yahoo archives that is nothing but an
advertisement, look for: "Yahoo! Groups is an advertising supported
service. Continue to message." usually found just above the ad. Click on
the "Continue to message." to read the actual email.

I don't like the new interface, its almost as bad as what Google have done
to the newsgroup front end. :(
Free email services are a dying breed.
