Invitrogen closed Resgen and laid-off all of the people, and anyone that
was there who was subscribed to this list (myself included) no longer
has that email address. I tried to unsubcribe myself in the last days,
but I don't know if I was successful. I myself have not seen a bounce
from Invitrogen on this list, but I suspect this is the problem.
