BALUG-Admin list purge!

by Michael Paoli

So, the BALUG-Admin(a)lists.balug.org list, looks like sometime between 2024-08-01 and 2025-05-01, likely some bot or the like subscribed lots of email addresses to the BALUG-Admin(a)lists.balug.org list: > YYYY-MM-DD announce talk admin > 2025-05-01 566 433 146 > 2024-08-01 497 232 32 So, I'll be looking over those additions, and WILL PURGE most of those additions (those that seem likely to be bot subscriptions/additions). I may inadvertently remove some that are legitimate subscriptions. I'll update once I've completed that purge. So, if you receive this email, but not that one, you may have been unsubscribed. One can also check the archives (list is publicly archived) to see if/when that subsequent posting has been sent, this list is currently archived at: https://lists.balug.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/balug-admin@lists.balug.or… I'll also send additional information at that time (notably including how to check if one is still subscribed, etc.). I will not be emailing out list of the specific email addresses removed. I expect I'll have this completed within 24 hours. After this purge on the BALUG-Admin list, I'll likely proceed similarly for the BALUG-Talk and BALUG-Announce lists, as looks like those probably also experienced similar large bumps in subscriptions via (presumed) bot(s). I may also do likewise for BALUG-Test list, though that list is not of as much concern.

Correcting an accidentally omitted word: > (2) Using the listadmin-accessible-only setting creates an implication > of hypercontrol and creates the suspicion in the minds of many of us > mailing list old-timers that this is yet another forum run by control > freaks who like to "disappear" people they dislike while making sure > that, lacking access to the roster, they write to their fellow members > to protest the action. ^ cannot And yes, I've seen a couple of mailing lists where such warning signs _do_ correctly indicate that such passive-aggressive, control-freak behaviour is endemic among the listadmin staff. By the way, speaking of typing gaffes, I just did some very minor and insufferably pedantic copyediting fixes to the new text on the listinfo pages: o "subscribed": You accidentally omitted the "r". o "Web": Being a proper noun in this context, it needs an initial capital. o "Linux": Since it's not an acronym, "LINUX" really wasn't right. I also bestowed a few initial capitals, closing periods, and commas where needed. (Yeah, I know most people lack the pedant gene, and am not complaining. I just want our pages to look the best they can.)
