Since joining this list, I've seldom seen more than a dozen messages on the list and few of those could be considered completely inappropriate or irrelevant. There has been no "spam" that I've seen. Why a moderated list now, may I ask? Pete ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronna G.

Here's what's happening: > > You continue to post your comments and questions about Equipped for the Future -- addressing your messages to nifl-4eff@literacy.nifl.gov -- just like always. In the new system, I will receive all messages before the rest of the list subscribers. I will preview the messages and then post them to the list members. I believe rerouting the messages in this way will decrease the number of inappropriate and irrelevant messages, and improve the overall quality of the Equipped for the Future discussion list. > > Please be aware that, in this new system, it will take longer for your messages to get posted to the list. Expect a delay from the time you post your message to the time it actually appears on the 4EFF list. Although I will be checking 4EFF messages a minimum of once a day, there will be a delay of hours, a day, or maybe more before your message appears on the list, or before you get a response back from me (whichever the case may be.) > > In the next week or so I hope this new distribution system will be up and running. I still need to test and practice it, but I am optimistic that things will go smoothly :-) ... If you have any questions, please email me at <rgspacone@worldnet.att.net>. > > Thanks, > Ronna > > p.s. Maybe you were with us last summer when we tried to make this change and ran into technical difficulties. Well, now I'm using the email program, Eudora Pro and I think we're "good to go." As it turned out I needed an email program that would allow me to send text only messages and undo the word wrap setting. > > Ronna G.
