Re: [Roundup-users] Weird re-subscription email from sourceforge

[R. D. M. <rdm...@bi...>]

I just got a "confirm your subscription" message message from sourceforge.
The URL had 'mailman' in it, but I've never received this kind of thing
before from a mailman list.  When I went to the URL it had checkboxes
checked for two of sourceforge mailing lists (but not roundup-dev),
and two checkboxes unchecked for advertising from sourceforge.  Then it
had a last checkbox that said that I agreed to receive email from
sourceforge.net.  That sounds like an agreement for them to spam me,
whether it is one or not, but I can't submit the form to confirm my
subscription without checking that box.  Regardless of that, I have
decided that I am *not* going to subscribe to a mailing list where I
have to reconfirm my subscription periodically; it's too much trouble
for a list I rarely participate in (but do read).

The original message said my subscription would be deleted on June 29th
if I didn't confirm, so I'll be off this list after June 29th.

If the moderators are interested, I'm sure that python.org would
be happy to host the roundup lists, all you have to do is email
pos...@py... and ask, and then transfer the membership list.
(If they do hesitate for some reason, contact me and I'll convince them :)
