Dear Shared Weight community,
Many of you received a "you've been unsubscribed" email this morning!
I'm terribly sorry about that. Yahoo/Comcast/Hotmail recently turned on
some very strong spam filtering which broke nearly every mailing list on
the internet. It finally affected us today.
I have quickly moved the site to an updated version of Mailman (the
software that runs this list) which has some options to deal with this.
Primarily, the "From" address is now the list address. The Reply-To
address should be the original sender. We'll see how this goes.
If you received that email, you can ignore it. I have re-subscribed
you. If you did not get a bounce noticed, then you have nothing to
worry about. Note that if you used to get digest messages, you are now
getting regular emails. I have not carried that setting over from the
old server yet.
Please hang in there with us as we figure this out and get it all
working again.
If you need to change your settings, go to this page:
http://lists.sharedweight.net/options.cgi/organizers-sharedweight.net
Enter your email address at the top, then click the Remind button at the
bottom. You will be sent your password in the mail. Then you can log
in and change your deliver options.
MAJOR CHANGE: Note that the "From" address of this message is actually
the list address. The Reply-To should be my address. This is not
ideal, but it is what I have to work with right now. Please hang in there.
Thanks,
Seth & Chris
Anyone have experience with tapping into non-contra talent? (Especially with regard to a new series.)
For example, if there was plenty of Scottish/ECD/Old time music talent in an area, but no current tradition of contra dancing, how could one develop those musicians' interest and skills in playing for contra dances?
