I will be away from now until Dec 29. Until that time, the FML will be running on autopilot. Since it's only a week, I've decided to not automate anything w.r.t. anon postings and subscription requests being forwarded to Bill for action. Thus, neither will be processed until the 29th. However, in emergency, either anon or subscription-related you can mail directly to Bill ([log in to unmask]) and he can deal with it in my stead. That is, if he's around.... If he's not, you might want to try one of these for anon posts: [log in to unmask] (Katie Fritz) [log in to unmask] (Nancy Hartman) Actually, handling an "anon" is easy. Just hand it to a non-anon member, have them delete all of the identifying information, and send it to ferret-list as if it were a normal article. I am experimenting with automating anon postings, and do have something working. The problem is that it can't always detect signatures and delete them - mail headers are easy. And I don't have anything setup for people to test whether the anonymizer works. I will be providing more detail in the new year, and going live with it. After suitable warnings etc. Important: "Something" went wrong with the LISTSERV over the last couple of days. We don't know what it was. Everything was okay on this side. Issue 674 was lost, and I reposted it. There probably were a few subscription changes that were also lost. If you mailed one in in the past several (3-4) days, please resend it. I will be attempting to regenerate what was lost, but some assist won't hurt... Season's Greetings to all! [Posted in FML issue 0676]
