Greetings List Members
Monday mornings are a real trial clearing out all the rubbish
generated by the weekend's traffic - especially when there appear
to be so many 'missing' bodies. At the moment each message on
the list generates up to a dozen separate messages which are
sent to me, explaining that various addresses are invalid.
...and then a shining beam of light.
Please read Stephen's message with care - bear in mind that if the
list is abused, Mailbase have the right to contact your Internet
Service Provider.
Thank you
Your List Owner

---------------------------------
I doubt very much that I am the only person to think that this round
robin is an abuse of the list. If members of the public want to waste
their friends' time with this sort of thing, that is fine. To waste
the time of each of the 250 or so members of the list is another
matter entirely.
I would remind any member tempted to follow this example of
Mailbase's Acceptable Use Policy:
3.No Spam or Bulk Email
Mailbase does not allow spam, junk mail, chain letters or other
unsolicited bulk email, commercial or otherwise, on any Mailbase
list. We take the following measures to prevent this abuse of our
service.
Yours sincerely
Stephen Benham

The above is my own opinion and not necessarily that of the NLW
