I apologize for the recent spam on this list! I don't know how they were even able to post, because they were not members and the settings were already such that non-members shouldn't have been able to post. But I have banned the specific email addresses that have posted, and I have locked down the settings a bit more so that hopefully no more get through. The flip side is that first-time posters will have to wait for their messages to be approved. So if you are a first-time poster, just be aware of that – and if you feel that your message has been lost in the admin approval queue, you can
send me a direct email separately to ask me to look into it and release your message to the group.
Thanks for your understanding, and sorry again for the frustration and inconvenience!
