Index of Subjects Dear members of NatureNS, I've just gone through some accumulated bouncing messages (the ones from you folks that the Chebucto Majordomo e-mail server rejects). A bunch of them are from "non-subscribers." You may be following NatureNS, but you can't post to it unless you are subscribed with the e-mail address from which you post messages. It's a bit tricky these days because a lot of us have more than one e-mail address. And of course there's the regular bunch of "<dot>php" links (a no-no) and "help" in the subject line. And if you happen to be sending a message to a bunch of different addresses and use the old BCC trick -- that doesn't work either (the Chebucto server likes to be named out front, on the To: line; but beware -- it doesn't like to be crowded in with more than a few other destinations). Anyway, my message to you is that if your post doesn't show up, there's probably a good reason for it. Today, I approved some wayward messages and talked to a few of you in person about why things aren't happening for you. The weirdest one is a pure fluke: the spam catcher doesn't allow the phrase "over<space>18" and the message that was rejected was a list of observed birds that included the line "Black-bellied Plover<space>18." One of the great things about this forum is that it's pretty much self-regulating. The recent (and ongoing) discussion about discussing issues -- such as the Bedford Basin infill -- is a good example. You people make my job very easy. Thanks, and (as Paul would say) have a happy spring, Doug -- Doug Linzey Administrator, NatureNS e-mail list naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca
