<font face="Avenir">First, congratulations Mark... there should also
be an "Ironman" award for your efforts over the years to keep the
hamsters in the wheel well-fed and running at full speed. I know
what it takes, so kudos!<br>
<br>
I thought I'd address the issue of list emails going into spam
folders that some have mentioned. Many already know this, but
maybe some will be helped.<br>
<br>
Most email clients (Outlook, Google, Thunderbird) will have a way
to "whitelist" an email address so that your client doesn't deem
an incoming email as spam. Because Google is notoriously bad at
discerning spam from <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPAMASSASSIN/Ham">ham</a>,
here is the procedure in Gmail:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.whitelist.guide/gmail/">https://www.whitelist.guide/gmail/</a><br>
<br>
If you use a different client, a Google search will lead you to
the procedure.<br>
<br>
All of that being said, some internet providers (AT&T,
Verizon, etc) do spam detection at server level before your client
(reader) even gets the message. (Although Google is not
technically an internet provider, their whitelisting method
mirrors that of one.) In that instance you will need to use the
provider's control panel to add email addresses to your whitelist.<br>
<br>
Both methods work, 'client level' is usually simpler though.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>

substantial amount of messages do get shuttled to my SPAM folder, even
after marking them consistently as NOT SPAM.
As to participation, I am one of the "lurkers" who has been subscribed

working on any of my TR2/3s.
