Dear Tweetsters and Diann Macrae - I apologize for my post about the
problems Tweeters Digest subscribers are having receiving the content
from some Tweeters contributors.
I was responding to Tweeters contributors who mentioned they were not
able to receive the content of Diann's messages, so I made reference to
her messages. I can understand why Diann felt singled out, even though
she is not the only one whose messages don't get through to Digest
subscribers. I apologize for making her feel singled out. I like many
others on this list very much appreciate Diann's posts about vultures
and other topics and would be very sad if they did not continue.
Let me say what I should have made clearer in my message: neither Diann
(nor any other folks) are to blame for the content of their messages not
getting through to Digest subscribers. They are simply using the email
clients that they (and many other people) normally use and had no way to
know that their messages were not being properly being handled by the
old listserv software.
I did not intend to cast blame of any kind in my post. I was trying to
provide ideas about why the problem was happening and what were
potential solutions. I should have done a better job of it.
Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The solutions
vary according to how a person sends and receives Tweeters messages. And
nobody deserves any blame for how they are doing either. Nor does the
listserv deserve any blame. It is free software created and maintained
by volunteers. As Elaine Chuang mentioned, the UW has hosted the
Tweeters list for many years at no cost. Thanks to Elaine, a tireless
volunteer, for her latest post explaining the issues.
Digest subscribers who receive messages with no content, should just
click on the URL below the message that looks like this:
URL:http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/pipermail/tweeters/attachments/20250720/d2193670/attachment-0001.html
(I removed angle brackets that open and close the URL because the
listserv may not be able handle the angle brackets)
