Subject: [UK-NE] MESSAGE FROM LISTOWNER

Hi everyone,

Well yesterday was quite a testing day and of which was not without its
problems. I again must apologise to all members who experience the mass
amount of mail we received and the congestion problems which occurred on our
web site. As you will know from my postings yesterday a member from this
list took a copy of a posting I sent to one of the Yorkshires lists (the
message was to advices other members on THAT list of our new friendly list),
and this person sent it to quite a few other mailing lists in the UK. Which
resulted in me receiving over 1,500 e-mails, over 200 new members
subscribing and over 350 visitors to our web sites, all within 10 hours.
Then when I switch on the computer this morning we now have another 42 new
subscribers. I don't think this member did this maliciously but I have given
his a warning and removed him from the list. Mainly due to the fact he
should have consulted me before doing such a task. Hopefully we can now all
get down to what we are here for - and enjoy ourselves.

Anyway problems I'm always here to help and give advice where possible.

Best Wishes
Steve
