[Tweeters] tweeters postings

[Jane Hadley via Tweeters]

Dear Tweetsters and Diann Macrae - I apologize for my post about the 
problems Tweeters Digest subscribers are having receiving the content 
from some Tweeters contributors.

I was responding to Tweeters contributors who mentioned they were not 
able to receive the content of Diann's messages, so I made reference to 
her messages. I can understand why Diann felt singled out, even though 
she is not the only one whose messages don't get through to Digest 
subscribers. I apologize for making her feel singled out. I like many 
others on this list very much appreciate Diann's posts about vultures 
and other topics and would be very sad if they did not continue.

Let me say what I should have made clearer in my message: neither Diann 
(nor any other folks) are to blame for the content of their messages not 
getting through to Digest subscribers. They are simply using the email 
clients that they (and many other people) normally use and had no way to 
know that their messages were not being properly being handled by the 
old listserv software.

I did not intend to cast blame of any kind in my post. I was trying to 
provide ideas about why the problem was happening and what were 
potential solutions. I should have done a better job of it.

Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. The solutions 
vary according to how a person sends and receives Tweeters messages. And 
nobody deserves any blame for how they are doing either. Nor does the 
listserv deserve any blame. It is free software created and maintained 
by volunteers. As Elaine Chuang mentioned, the UW has hosted the 
Tweeters list for many years at no cost.  Thanks to Elaine, a tireless 
volunteer, for her latest post explaining the issues.

Digest subscribers who receive messages with no content, should just 
click on the URL below the message that looks like this:

URL:http://mailman11.u.washington.edu/pipermail/tweeters/attachments/20250720/d2193670/attachment-0001.html

(I removed angle brackets that open and close the URL because the 
listserv may not be able handle the angle brackets)
