[Geysers] Three Listserve questions

Greetings Gazers -

The amazing, complex, and historic Vixen cycles continue - we can
discuss differences between "cyclic" and/or whether it is a "series"
after the roads close!  For now, since I have been telling visitors
all summer that this is the "first known cyclic behavior since 1984" I
have endeavored to dig back into the historic record.  I'll get into
Norris logbooks (I believe those start in 1964) in the YNP archives
this winter.

Listserve Question 1 - I recall the listserve's origin as during the
mid-90's. The online archives seem to only start at 2004.  Is there
another location to find those online?

Lee Whittlesey printed past list reports for the YNP archives, perhaps
I can find them there.

Lee, are you still printing current list serve posts to have hard copy
available at the HRC?  This question came up the other day in a
conversation and I said I would ask.

Listserve question 2  -  I find there are some missing posts, for
example, when I will read "as already reported by Gazer X", but I
can't find the thread/post from Gazer X.  What happened there, and
where are they?

List question 3 - "attachment scrubbed" will appear when clicking on
some posts.  I am not a techy by any means, can anyone tell me what
happened there in a "listserve for dummies" language?

The above two scenarios may be findable in the hard copy reports at the HRC.

I have been enjoying re-living geyser events over the past 10 or so
years by reading the reports, narratives and discussions.

Go Vixen!
MA

PS  I am almost done entering the data from Rocco's 1984 Norris Annual
Report on the Vixen patterns from that summer if you'd like to take a
look.  The differences in duration, heights, eruptions that produce
runoff, and "majors" from then to now are quite striking.
