Well, since the website uses the words "For questions regarding web content and site functionality, please write to the net-snmp-users mail list"
at the location of the link to the webpage for the users group, you might think that the click would lead to a compose window. Hence, I think a suitable change is not only appropriate, it is also obvious as to its form and content. My suggestion: "For questions regarding web content and site functionality, please write to the net-snmp-users mail list. Click here to sign-up for the users mail list, and click here to go to the users mail list archive." and have the corresponding links on the words *here* I do understand the point about working to restrict the submission of spam to the users group. It is just that words have meaning, and the notion expressed by the words used is not in keeping with the apparent intent of the webpage designer. I think the words that I suggest are far more evocative of the result of clicking on the link, than are the words now used on the index page of the Net-SNMP website. William R.
