Never thought those 2 would ever be in one subject line. Haven't really done much singing since coming to Music City, but came by this group by accident the...
Actually - when My company was looking to hire someone, they requested a Baritone, with a quite a few programming skills... and who's competed at District... ...
And speaking of web development issues... More justification for NOT using Yahoo services for your Quartet/Chapter/District web projects. Run a closed system...
Actually, I thought the colorful display of the more raw parts of our language was quite refreshing, and exactly what some Barbershop audiences need!...
No need to change services. Just close and moderate this one. ANY group that has an open enrollment can be subject to these kinds of attacks. Kurt ... Kurt...
... I find it pretty remarkable that this is the first in well over a year. And I bet the perp is long gone. A moderator is a bit like censorship, and I am...
Are you talking about the SPAM message posted over on bbshop? I run a couple of other yahoogroups and what we've done is set all new users to be moderated. We...
Murray, I tend to agree with you regarding moderating and censorship, however, as is the case with our egroup for the Granite Statesmen, I moderate for sole...
No I think the list merely needs to be a closed one... this way the person doesn't merely have to send one to the group and let it fly... Andrew Borts /...
And if we make it a closed list, who becomes the gatekeeper, and what criteria do we use to establish someone's eligibility to join? With so many organizations...
Before signing him up, ask for his chaper name. This is what I do if the applicant doesn't ID himself when requesting to be on my Pioneer District list. The...
Or, we just leave it as is. I agree with the comments from Murray Phillips. One spam message in over a year? Not a bad record. Kudos to Yahoo. I get over 600...
I'll chime in here with my $.02 I'm in agreement with Scott and Murray, for now at least. If it becomes an issue, then we certainly have other options...
Hehe. OK, I changed my mind. Let's have all new members sign up by telephone. You have to call an automated attendant, and sing a tag by yourself, in any of...
Actually - it may not be that bad... Entrance into the group is as follows; Send message to the moderator your FAVORITE Tag... If we get 100's of behinds -...
What can be done about these anti-spam systems being started? They not only require confirmation from the sender, they require enough information from the...
My position is simple. I agree with you Phil. I don't participate in those. I'm not going to click any such link in an e-mail, and I'm sure not going to enter...
I agree with that position. I run several closed lists, and unless I can identify the person requesting admission, I refuse the request. Murray ... And ... key...
Actually - it was a painless process to get verified on Patrick's system (he's a really nice guy too!) but I checked out the URL before I did anything else....
... And it saves me from 200+ spam messages a day. If people don't want to click and send to me, c'est la vie. I'll live ... but at least I don't have spam!!...
Yep. For my own taste, there are better ways to combat spam than to put the burden on the sender. But spam is a big problem, and everyone has to pick the...
I've got an E-mail address that's 7 or 8 years old - I published a handful of articles under that E-mail address. I have my OWN server @ home, but I can't...
You could try the MailWasher software. It shows you what is on your server and lets you choose to send email back with a message stating that the address no...
The biggest problem with this idea is that I can't sing and therefore don't belong to a chapter...besides, you men wouldn't let me join anyway. ;) -Diane ... ...
Hi Scott, Since Andrew has authorised himself, I got your mail ... ... So, what are the "better ways to combat spam", Scott? Lord knows I certainly don't WANT...
