[ddj] IMPORTANT: mailing list etiquette

Thu Sep 26 11:15:24 UTC 2013

Dear all,

This list has recently become swamped with a number of "list
confirmations" and "unsubscribe" requests. This is spamming people's
inboxes and decreasing the chance that the mailing list will be used for
productive purposes

For the avoidance of doubt:

1. YOU SHOULD NOT EMAIL THE LIST TO CONFIRM YOUR SUBSCRIPTION

2. YOU SHOULD NOT EMAIL THE LIST TO UNSUBSCRIBE

If you are receiving this email, you are already subscribed and no
further confirmation is necessary.

If you wish to unsubscribe, you should follow the instructions at the
bottom of the following page:

    http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/data-driven-journalism

If anyone who recently emailed to confirm their subscription did so
because they were advised to do so by another email or a web page,
please email me (off-list!) at nick.stenning at okfn.org to tell me where
this misinformation is posted.

To reiterate: *please* only email the list with information that is
likely to be of interest to ALL list members.

You MUST NOT email "data-driven-journalism at lists.okfn.org" with any
requests to amend or confirm your membership of the list.

Thank you,
Nick
