Dear everyone:
This message is from your co-moderators, mirabelis and cathal. The following *is not* a policy, but rather, a suggestion.
Based on the very little information that we receive at the time of a subscription request, it is often impossible to discern who is a legit member wishing to be added (whom we wish to be added!) and who is a spammer. Very often, all we get is an email address and a name. And unfortunately, we get too many spam email subscription requests to independantly verify each one.
Therefore, this message is sent as a suggestion: if you know of someone who is going to subscribe to the list, please send one of us an email (preferably, send it to both of us):
silalmhain at yahoo.com
mirabelis_ at hotmail.com
Nothing fancy needed, just an email saying so-and-so is going to join the list and their email address is _____ at ______.
Another suggestion is to send a message to the list. It could take the form of something like:
Just ran into so-and-so, who said they are going to join the list. their email address is ________ at ________. Please give them a warm r-fort welcome!
Or you could say:
Everyone! ____ at ____ is a legit person! Don't reject them! Especially you, cathal!
I won't be offended. ;-)
Once again, this is *not* a policy. No one is *required* to do this. This is only a suggestion to help prevent snafus in the future.
Thanks!
