Care colleghe, cari colleghi,

l'idea è bella, ma la sottoscrizione non funziona. Sulla pagina

si trova un commento della Brandeis University che Vi ho copiato:

 Unfortunately, the well-meaning individual who created this message
chose
 the wrong means by which to accomplish her goal. Here is Brandeis
 University's explanation for having cancelled that person's email
privileges
 and deleting all submitted copies of the petition unread:

      Please read this message carefully, especially
      the next two sentences. Do not reply to this
      email. Do not forward this email to anyone
      else. Anyone who needs a copy, already has
      one. Do not make things worse. Do not "help"
      by forwarding this message to everyone who has
      corresponded with you on this subject.

      Due to a flood of hundreds of thousands of
      messages in response to an unauthorized chain
      letter, all mail to [log in to unmask] is
      being deleted unread. It will never be a valid
      email address again. If you have a personal
      message for the previous owner of that
      address, you will need to find some means
      other than email to communicate.

      [log in to unmask] was not an
      organization, but a person who was totally
      unprepared for the inevitable consequences of
      telling thousands of people to tell fifty of
      their friends to tell fifty of their friends
      to send her email.

      It is our sincere hope that the hundreds of
      thousands of people who continue to attempt to
      reply will find a more productive outlet for
      their concerns. There are several excellent
      organizations and individuals doing real work
      on the issues raised. Some of them were
      mentioned in sarabande's letter. None of them
      authorized her actions. We suggest that you
      contact them through non-virtual channels to
      help. They all have web sites with information
      and contact points. Unlike sarabande, they can
      channel your energy in useful directions. Do
      not let this incident discourage you.

      Please do not forward unverified chain
      letters, no matter how compelling they might
      seem. Propagating chain letters is
      specifically prohibited by the terms of
      service of most Internet service providers;
      you could lose your account.

Cordialmente

Dr. Anke Wortmann
Universität Halle-Wittenberg
