I think it would be awful if you felt like there were "bans" or rules limiting you - I look forward to reading everyone's messages :-) I was concerned about spam, but I didn't use that term, and I am sorry I did not make myself clearer. Within less than 48 hours of the establishment of the our new list, a non-list member...in other words...an email address that is not subscribed to the list... sent us an announcement about Frank Sinatra. I don't understand technically how their message could get through, which is of course a question I will ask Paul on Monday. And I feel responsible - why? Because I used to run a list where everything filtered through me, and I was spammed continually, but no one on the SignWriting Email List saw this, because I threw the messages out before they got to you. That was one of the reasons I became so exhausted running the Email List manually. Everyday, I got rid of unnecessary spam, plus I also answered each request for additions and deletions personally. Now, with this new public list, I have no control. Which of course is excellent in many other ways! I was concerned that you would be angry at me that the spam messages got through. So I will ask Paul Cowley to inform us next week about the technical side to this issue. And once again...I hope you all will post to your heart's content.... Boy...I have some neat things to tell you about the Texas School for the Deaf, and the New Mexico School for the Deaf...but that will have to wait until tomorrow. Good night everyone :-) Valerie Sutton :-) https://www.SignWriting.org Sutton at the DAC Deaf Action Committee For SignWriting Box 517, La Jolla, CA, 92038-0517, USA (619)456-0098 voice (619)456-0010 tty (619)456-0020 fax |
