I'm sorry to be so strong in my subject line. But, as a volunteer to keep
this list running, a simple mistake like this can cost me hours and hours
of maintenance work.


When you do a "cc" email to the tastebridge list like we see above, this
happens:

* The mail gets held by the system for review (which causes a large delay
for everyone to get their mail)

* People "Reply-All" which compounds the problem [as only people on the
list can send an email without it getting caught].

* Spam lists find this and start spamming the address (making this problem
even harder). I have no idea why Dark Beer would increase our emails about
penis enlargements, but sadly, it has is just did.


Thank you so much for understanding. Some small thing like this seems so
innocent. But, I've seen another list grow to be completely unmanageable.
There are currently 1,359 mail messages waiting for review.


Kindest Regards,



Glen Jarvis
