ilugc reopens :-)



dear luggies,

i am happy to announce the re-opening of ilugc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; there
will be one small change in operation policy - from now on, only ilugc
subscribers will be able to post to the list. already, subscribing to
ilugc uses a return confirmation mail; thus, bogus addresses cannot
subscribe to the list. since only subscribers can post, i believe bogus
address holders will not be able to post; this should eliminate the spam
and related problems we have had in the past. it was unfortunate that the
list had to be closed down for a few days. to recall, on friday last early
morning, some prank postings were made to the list (repeatedly). if it
were a single posting, i would have simply ignored it. since the site is
not officially sanctioned by any iit authority, in order to protect
myself, i shut down the site. however, i initiated action to trace the
poster of the prank messages and my closure announcement gave some details
of it. in any case, by saturday morning, the list of suspects was rather
narrow and the prank poster (who happens to be a member of the ilugc list) 
confessed/apologized. since revealing the identity of the poster is
unlikely to achieve anything constructive, i will refrain from it. let us
all look forward to continued constructive discussions on ilugc. long live
linux and longer live ilugc...
