Jesper, I'm a regular reader, but unfortunately, not much of a contributor. For the last several years, I have sadly neglected my Simmons gear for a number of reasons and have not really had anything to contribute. I do own an SDX, SDS7, SDS8, MTM, and a Portakit. I find the discussions interesting. Please don't delete me. -----Original Message----- From: jesper jesper@...

The message below was a phishing attempt and I guess Darren's account was hacked. He became a member in 2005 and hasn't been active in recent times. I have thrown him out and deleted the message. Most similar attempts are blocked effectively by the rule of moderation. New members are moderated and I try to remove the moderation of active members after a few months (the new system at Yahoogroups needs to be managed manually) when they've proved they/you know their/your hexagons and are here for the discussion and community. Anyway, I'd like to throw a few questions in your direction: 1. Do we need to "clean up" the member list? There are MANY members not receiving any mails, they're just members (including our list owner Scott btw). The list would be easier to manage and I prefer a list with active members instead of a list with hundreds of inactive members (we are today 733 members and sorted by joining date I'm number 8, back in 2002). Circa 60-70% never even receive our mails. 2. Sometimes we see apologizes from new members when their first post is an ad. Is this a problem? (I've let them pass this far, but would like your views on this.) 3. There have been a very friendly mood on the list in recent times. This is good news. Some of you may remember this hasn't always been the case. (I and a few others took a lot of onlist and offlist beating last time.) Am I doing an OK job here? 4. Adding pictures and similar on the website is fairly unmoderated. In your opinion, does this work well? (or did I start something bad now by pointing this out?!) Let me know your views and feel free to come with honest feedback, whine, praise, whatever... Hexagonically yours, jesper - -- --- ---- ----- ---- --- -- - www.electronic-obsession.se --- Angaudlinn on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/angaudlinn/id582356650 Angaudlinn's playlist p� Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/user/simplyanalogue/playlist/540Srd3zA15pK7G1S8qLHo Angaudlinn on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Angaudlinn 'Dazzathedrummer' darren.bullough@...
