I have to agree as well - Quite frequently I am just too busy to read the list, other times I get a wealth of information from the list. I would hate to get unsubscribed because I was too busy to reply to a message. Plus, I archive all of my messages in the list so I can search for previous information. I may not read some posts right away, but they do serve a useful purpose for me later down the road.
Being placed on a moderated status would be fine in my opinion, as described by Eric, for new or infrequent posters.

Was: Please Restore Your Account Access I agree with Jay. I'd hate to have to respond to an e-mail ping every so often just to continue reading the list. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind terribly if I got placed on "moderated" status (i.e. had to go through a verification step in order to *post* to the list) if I were either (a) new to the list, or (b) hadn't posted in a while. -Eric On 30 May 2006, at 07:57, Jay Sprenkle wrote: > On 5/30/06, Eugene Wee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Basically, what I imagined from DRH's original proposal was that >> accounts that >> have not sent out mails after some period of time would receive an >> email >> informing them that they will be unsubscribed unless they send a >> mail to the >> mailing list, or they reply to this notification email, within >> some (short) >> period of time. >> >> I have qualms about asking people to click on a link, since it may >> look like a >> bogus email in which the link will take them elsewhere.
