It's not exactly unheard of for long periods to go by without posts to
the list. Admittedly, though, 12 hours is unusually long for daytime!
If you ever suspect that there might be problem affecting only your own
mail account, it is possible to view the authoritative list archives at:
<http://mail.plug.linux.org.au/pipermail/plug/> -- view 'by date' and
see whether the last message for 2004 is one you have received or not.
(This is not to detract from the fact that 'test messages' can be useful
for assessing whether the list server is itself working.)
