Dear Axiom-developer Subscribers; Gee that was stupid of me, wasn't it ... :(^
Perhaps this is a good time to suggest that we disconnect the axiom-developer email list from the Axiom Wiki web site? Originally this connection between the email list and the web site seemed like a good idea in order to promote the use of the site. But accidents like this one as well as a few real spam cases that get through the email filters suggest that it is not really such a good idea. And besides now in addition to email subscription to the website, we also have several better ways to keep up to date with what's new and what's changed on the site such as the RSS newsfeed. So unless there is any objection, I plan to remove the axiom-developer list as a subscriber to the Axiom Wiki. This will mean that you will no longer automatically received notices from the wiki web site. If you want to continue to receive email notices of changes to the site, you will have to go to: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org set your 'preferences' to include your email address and click on 'subscribe'. Explanation of my Error I decided I liked the page named AboutMathAction better than just MathAction so I did a page rename from MathAction to AboutMathAction not thinking about how many pages on the web site already use that name as a link. So ZWiki just did what I said and went through and blindly changed all the pages where this link occurred and sent email notices for every one that it changed. Of course I did not really mean for it to change the contents of the page, only the links. Arrrghh! As they say, it takes computer to really screw-up and I must add one connected to email on the Internet to do it publicly - and all for the sake of better public relations about how great this web site is ... <too embarrassing>! I am very sorry for all the unintentional spam that was generated.
