Hi, everyone! Just a couple of requests: - please don't use any URL shortening services (like tinyurl and its cousins) when posting web addresses to the list. A large number of ISPs think any message with such a URL in it is spam, and so the initial message bounces, and then the replies that include the original bounce as well... and so on. You'll get your email through to more people if you just include the actual link.
- this time of year (holidays? winter break?) people seem to have their account storage quotas fill up more often - if you're going to be away from your email, please make sure that you leave enough quota in your account to handle any list mail that might pile up there. The list server will automatically stop delivering to your account, and eventually unsubscribe you, if you're over quota for too long. - try to remember what account you used to sign up for the list, and only post replies from that account. To stop spam, the list server only allows subscribed members to post to the list. We're seeing increasing numbers of messages from people using alternate email addresses to reply, which cause work for us (to let you know it didn't go through) and you (to have to resend your message from the right address.) Contact the admins: <[email protected]> if you need help figuring out what address you subscribed with, or if you don't have "send" access to the account any more, or similar problems. Thanks. We hope everyone is weathering the end of this crazy year as well as can be. Now, go fold something and come back and tell us about it! Anne
