Hi Andy,
On the web page "other.html" there is a link to "Report broken links".
Most of these messages are coming from people that are not subscribed
to this list, so I see and approve them to be sent to the list. As I
always do I send a short reply to the user to let them know that the
message has been approved for the list. Today I received a message
from one such user wanting his address removed from the message. I
informed them that it could not be removed.
I'm really very sorry for the many extra work you have at the moment.
It is not the "extra work". I get far more messages that just get
deleted. I was not complaining, just letting those that have access to
the web site for editing that it could be a problem. A simple "Be aware
that the address is to a mailing list" would let people know that the
message will be archived forever before they send it.
With that as background I would like to suggest that some type of
addition be made to let users know that any message is sent to a
mailing list and not to anyone person.
I've deactivated the section for the moment. It doesn't make sense as
it's always the same message but we cannot change the situation.
Agree but something should be done to fix the problem, not hid it.
One more thing, who do I need to ask about being removed from the
moderator position?
Honesty, I've no idea how this is organized on the mailing lists.
Please, may I ask you to wait a bit more and to rethink your request?
I'm really confident that these kind of messages will go away when the
new realease calms down and some specific builds are published.
Floeff was in charge when I was made a moderator. All I am looking for
right now is a name and address. I will stay with it for a couple more
months but the time is coming when someone will have to take over. I
have plans that by mid year I will be moving and not have time to do it
properly any more.
Best regards
Marcus
Thanks
Andy
