For an open list, this does not make any sense — it only serves as a hurdle. For example, the liberationtech-jobs list was mentioned a few days back. I am curious, but not interested enough to subscribe, confirm, archive the relevant notification messages, look at the archive, then unsubscribe, again archiving relevant message after confirming requests. So what I think I will do is use one of the throwaway address services, forgetting about it immediately after subscribing and retrieving a password, and you will get another address to waste mailer resources on and to skew statistics. I would also like to voice a few suggestions about this list: 1. The signature is ridiculously long. You can at least prefix it with "-- " to enable auto-hiding in most mailers when people don't have their own signature. 2. You should reject messages without one of the list addresses in To: or Cc: fields. It helps filtering and prevents email from people who put all their address book in Bcc:. 3. Reply-To: should be to the list, not to the individual sender. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte _______________________________________________ liberationtech mailing list [email protected] Should you need to change your subscription options, please go to: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech If you would like to receive a daily digest, click "yes" (once you click above) next to "would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?"
