NW-Modeling-List Digest, Vol 279, Issue 9

[NW Modeling List]

 I am very pleased to hear of these changes as I was finding the list very difficult to use and in past weeks it has simply not been showing up at all.  I hope there's a way to keep the archive of past digests and messages accessible. 
Regards, Ben Scanlon

As the NW-Mailing-List approaches 30 years of existence, the time has 
come to make some changes.

The Mailman software which has been running our mailing lists for over 
21 years has become unsupportable. Complying with the increasing number 
and complexity of anti-spam and other e-mail filters on the Internet has 
reached a breaking point. Our provider Pair.com announced that they will 
end support for mailing lists at the end of this year.

After reviewing our options, we determined that *groups.io*?is our best 
option for continuing to maintain the NW-Mailing-List.
Groups.io expanded features such as file and photo sharing should make 
the NW-Mailing-List a better tool for sharing our collective knowledge 
and resources. Another consideration was that groups.io will not resell 
our email addresses or target marketing material to you.

As part of this move we will be merging our other lists such as the 
nw-modeling-list into the one nw-mailing-list.

You will soon receive an email from Groups.io notifying you that you 
have been added to the groups.io NW-Mailing-List. A link is included in 
the email for logging in and establishing an account password. (Yes 
another darn password!) Fortunately you will not need the password to 
participate in the NW-Mailing-List. Messages will continue to be email 
based although now a web interface is available for those that prefer 
that choice. The difference will be that emails will be sent to 
<*nw-mailing-list at groups.io*> instead of to the nwhs.org domain.

As we make this transition, *check your email spam settings* and make 
sure the address <nw-mailing-list at groups.io> is whitelisted so you will 
see all the messages from the list.

If you are already using groups.io with the same e-mail address, 
NW-Mailing-List will show up in Your Groups.
If you are new to groups.io, please click on the link included in the 
email to establish a password to go with your email address. This will 
unlock a web interface where you can customize the way messages are sent 
and received from your account.

If you want to opt out of the new mailing list,?there will be a link in 
the groups.io email to unsubscribe.

Thank you all for participating and contributing to this amazing source 
of N&W/VGN information.
