[GRLUG] So long.

Sun May 12 18:10:47 EDT 2013

Greets Bob, et. al.,

Sorry to see you go Bob (as I noticed the unsubscribe notification).  I
assure you I did/do not explicitly filter/moderate the list (other than
what default behavior Mailman applies).  Looking that the held message's
headers, it seems the list's email address was not explicitly listed, but
rather BCC'd.  See message header:

The bounce notification you received was due to Mailman's default config -
where the list has to be explicitly listed as a recipient.

Just to clarify, I like to think of the LUG as self-owned.  :-)  As Van
pointed out, he, Wes, Eric and others had something here in GR going when I
found them (while at E.M.U).  I came from the Ypsilanti LUG and together we
got this one off the ground.  I'd like to think its members make the LUG
and, as my kids often remind me, you can't own people, it belongs to all of
us - yes Bob you as well.

If you'd like to come back, and I speak for myself, I'd welcome you.

thanks,
Godwin

P.S.  An honorable mention goes to those of you who presently hold the LUG
together (you know who you are), as we "old timers" have as
much involvement as our schedules allow.  Thanks to you all.
