Folks,
To lend some poignancy to my latest agenda request, I just received this warning from my ISP.

> Please note that we have received a spam complaint about a recent
> message you sent through our Outgoing Server. The message was sent on
> February 28th, and was entitled "Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, A Special
> Event at The Minstrel!" While we've reviewed the message, and it's
> clearly not spam, I wanted to take this time to contact you about
> using a mailing list provider.
>
> Using an email distribution list, like Google Groups or Yahoo Groups,
> means that the provider has feedback mechanisms in place to remove
> people who may be reporting your messages as spam. (Our sister
> service, Listbox.com, does the same, but it is a paid service, and you
> may wish to keep your costs down by using a free one.)
>
> Why is this important? Well, it only takes a handful of spam
> complaints before your messages stop showing up in people's Inboxes,
> and start showing up in their Spam or Junk Mail folders.
>
> So, I'd recommend at least looking into a Google Groups list. Once
> people start reporting your messages as spam, they rarely stop. So,
> unless you only have one or two AOL subscribers on your list, and you
> can easily identify and remove someone who yout think might be
> complaining, moving your list to a provider who can handle these
> complaints for you is our recommendation.
