Between the emails last week and the post earlier
today on DX News, I'm sure that this is no surprise to anyone,
nevertheless...
As you know, there's been a recurring headache with
one or more list members who are AOL subscribers reporting DX News and/or DX
Chat posts as spam.
Why the induhviduals involved are doing so is
unknown... and at this point, moot. This is causing Urb a major
headache. He is getting quite a few "TOS" spam reports from AOL.
Bottom line, if the problem isn't stopped at the source (ie the ones responsible
quit reporting the list emails as spam), then to protect his commercial and
government clients, either the lists have to go or the AOL email addresses have
to go.
It would be nice if AOL's email handling was a
little more user friendly -- and less automated -- but it is what it is, and
they're not going to change their policy to accomodate our friendly little
list.
In any event... because of the continuing problems,
Urb has instructed me to remove all AOL email addresses from the list. I
will start doing so as of Monday afternoon, once I return from work. This
is not something I look forward to, not in the least. But, since we're not
paying the freight, and reside here thanks to the kindness of Urb and his
business associates, there is no choice in the matter.
If you have an alternate email address,
please resubscribe with that address. We hate to see anyone leave, but the
circumstances have forced this situation upon us, and I'd like to see all of our
members that can stay do so.
Any questions, please contact me
directly.
