Right, Loren. Its noone's business who subscribes to a list,
they shouldn't have to be known to or approved by
existing list members. They shouldn't be required to tell me or
anyone else who they are when they want to join this forum.
They should be allowed to subscribe with no other indentification
than something like 716hs6&&@nunofyourbidness.world. I get this kind of thing.
Think I am going to let them into the list knowing they could be Kenny-Boys on steroids.
Not too likely. We lost subscribers because of Ken and Martin.
It's "who are you and why do you want to join this list". And, no, they don't need to reply and I do not need to
subscribe them either. I do not get Federal, State or County funding so I am not required to let just anyone in.
In future they will need a more-or-less non-crazy-or-threatening-sounding email ID's and a Real Name, no nicks, if they
want to join this forum. This is the way I choose to do it to keep spam and abusive people out of this forum.
Do you have a better idea?
I can also put some or all newly-subscribed people on moderation with all their posts to the list subject to my approval
until they are obviously not spammers or people seeking to disrupt the forum.
Would you or anyone else offer to be list co-moderatots to help out with subscriptions?
I would really appreciate having these to add to all the various system messages
and to the list homepage. Are they online for download? Or can you email or file attach them to me?
