I very much regret the obscene email from Guo Rong guorong [at] pacific.net.sg He can no long post to cohousing-L. His sub has been dropped. (Only subscribed addresses can post to cohousing-L.) A few details in case you are interested -- in chronological order: 1/26/98 Subscription recieved from Guo Rong guorong [at] pacific.net.sg Nothing unusual about it tho we have few if an .sg (singapore) subs. 2/9/98 5:30am Fred was on unusually early for daily attempt to keep up with email. I check my mail once day typically tho it varies a lot. 2/9/98 6:22am Obscene message distributed to Cohousing-L 2/10/98 3:09am More civil email from Guo Rong asking to get off the list 2/10/98 3:12am Second copy of " " 2/10 10:40am Fred checks his email , becomes aware of the problem, drops Guo Rong sub. And starts this message. I would guess that the subscription was a forgery. That is someone forged the subscribe command. We do not currently have a confirm process to prevent this. We have had an ongoing problem with forgeries but usually I can detect them but not this one. If anyone could help implement a confirm process, please contact me. A confirmation process would work something like this: When a Sub command is received only a confirm message with a unique 'password' would be sent to the subscriber with instructions to reply with the password to confirm the desire to subscribe. Only when a message with the password is received would the subscription be entered. Again, please accept my regrets about this annoyance -- the content of the message and the unfortunate timing relative to when I checked in. Lets try to get back to talking about cohousing over the list. Email about the problem to me is fine. Fred -- Fred H.
