[Tango-L] Email or FB?

[Michael]

Hello Trini:

It's been a long time. I had to delete your message because it was too large to shove through the list with my response. 

 

I don't belong to Facebook and wouldn't join FB even if there was tango discussion group on it. Without going into great detail, I have concerns over how FB treats its member's privacy. I once started the registration process and before I finished, without permission, FB grabbed my address list and compared it to their address list. Then, I was asked if I wanted to friend the matches it found. That was enough for me to abort the registration process. Then I've read newspaper articles.

 

Shahrukh:

In the old days, a poster got an acknowledgement message that the person's message was accepted by the list and included the number of members. That statistic is missing from today’s acknowledgement message. How many members are there? (I understand the number may include old addresses from members who didn’t unsubscribe.)

 

With technological advances, is it possible to increase the size of messages before they go to moderation because of space constraints?

 

Abrazos,
