[KITlist-Tech] From Sue: Sorry about the spam, we've removed the poster

 

IMPORTANT! Please do not hit "reply" to this email since it will spam the entire list. You can email me directly to sue@kitlist.org if you want to reach me. Thanks!

Hello Everyone,

Please disregard the spam email that went out this morning titled "Greetings from Eric." We've removed that person, whose email was likely hacked.

With the changes on Yahoo Groups, the moderator protections are not available now, so any member email hits the whole list.

NOTE: Yahoo Groups will officially close as a platform on 12/15/2020. Kelly (my sister and co-moderator) and I are finalizing our KIT List future decisions and I will be sending out an email in a few days.

Thanks,

Sue
