Re: PLEASE STOP USING BOXB AND OTHER MAILCHECK SYSTEM IN THIS GROUP.

A better wordcrafted version of my message, finely tuned to fit in the 140 characters of Twitter (thx to David Pogue at http://twitter.com/Pogue)

Today's peeve:
- You email me.
- I reply.
- I get: "Sorry, I use a spam-blocking system that requires you to..."
&@#$ ...
YOU wrote ME, you moron!

SORRY GUYS-GALS I AM NOT GOING TO CLICK ON EVERY BOXBE LINK or equivalent

These discussion groups can have thousands of followers.
When you join a group, I personally feel that you have to show the minimum courtesy of not asking to contributing people the additional burden of clicking.
What's more, for all of you who  are using gmail: the anti-spam here is quite effective and usually very few spams come thru, so the added value of boxbe seems highly questionable.

If you fear to be spammed by using the group QUIT IT you are free to come, not to impose on us an extra burden.
For my part, I have now programmed a filter that will simply trash any such query... which mean that the owner of the mailbox will not receive any of the answers I make.

I think the matter is worth some discussion... but boxbe-protected group members will not receive my mails.

Hello Bernard Savonet,

I use Boxbe to protect my email address. While I did receive your email about "Re: Is there something different when using WordPress.", you are not currently on my email Guest List. I'll be more likely to see your email and future messages if you are on my priority Guest List.
