Herman asked:
Sherwood Shankland wants to join this listserve. How does he do that?
I am happy to help with subscribing Sherwood. But just so you all know, every list message has a footer (which may show as an attachment) that contains information for how to get to screens that enable you to to manage your membership, including subscribing and unsubscribing, turning off mail, and so forth. Also be aware that if you want to subscribe an additional email (without necessarily having list mail go to that email), this is easily done, saving me from having to manually approve your posts that come from the "wrong" emails. Just ask me via private email if you need help with this. I am seeing a fair bit of (legititmate) post attempts from non-subscribed emails. Lately I've been marking those emails to just be always allowed to post, so maybe this is a problem that is already solved. Still, list mindfullness and understanding on your part is a good thing, unless you prefer to allow the mysterious hand behind the screen to control all. I continue to be in awe of how well old clunky obsolete email works to keep us connected. Just don't try to explain mailing lists to your grandkids. In the grand sweep of history email is a tiny blip on the timeline that is coming to an end, but it still works for us, and might even outlast us! Tim
