If this list is 'unmoderated' why do some of my messages NEVER appear? --------------------------- Thumb Bandits - For Friendly Mature Gamers: Join Now for gaming news and discussion www.thumbbandits.com [Xbox - GCN - PS2 - Everything else!] Sociopranos - Society Redefined: All new members welcome! www.sociopranos.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Holly Kruse" <holly-kruse@utulsa.edu> To: <air-l@listserv.aoir.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 5:56 AM Subject: Re: [Air-l] Tutorial: How to unsubscribe from air-l
Are people perhaps misunderstanding how an unmoderated Listserv- (or similar software) based email discussion list works? An email message sent to air-l@listserv.aoir.org by any subscriber is distributed to all subscribers. To stop getting all the messages sent to the list by subscribers, one has to unsubscribe from the list either through the web interface or through an message sent to the unsubscribe address.
I hope I'm not out of line here, because I'm only involved in this list as a subscriber and in AOIR as a member. I do know though from founding and then years of adminstering a huge unmoderated email list that started out running with the old majordomo software and then moving to L-Soft and using Listserv software that there can be some confusion about what email is coming from whom and how when one is subscribed to lists. (In fact, when the list topped 1000 subscribers and 50+ posts a day, I changed the header to make the reply default "sender" rather than "list", which did help with list volume and confusion, but also squelched information sharing.)
