Dear AOL Users,

All of us who use AOL are experiences this problem with Tweeters, and
possible some of our other list servers. AOL has a system where depending on how
many people hit their SPAM button to an incoming email that they then sort
out email from that server as SPAM. So when people do not know how to get off
a list that they no longer want by hitting SPAM on AOL they are doing a
disservice to other AOL members on that list. Hopefully, if you restore Tweeters
from your SPAM folder before reading it, hopefully AOL is recording this
too. I doubt it, though.

Recently, the listowner of OBOL indicated that he had to go through all kind
hell to get OBOL off AOL's SPAM list and he was not going to do it again,
because of the hassle. So if you want to stop receiving a list do everybody a
favor and figure out how to signoff officially, rather than marking it as
SPAM so that AOL will delete it from your incoming mail, because AOL apparently
deletes it from everybodies incoming mail, too.

Solution, I have none other than trying to contact AOL somehow and complain
about the fact that Tweeters is not SPAM and hope they do something on their
end. I have three or four lists that I now receive their email on Mozilla's
Thunderbird since I cannot receive it at all or very irregularly on AOL.

The above comments are based on my experience with AOL and readings, so I do
not know that everything above is fact, but it appears to be, so keep
restoring your Tweeters out of the SPAM folder before reading it and hopefully AOL
will stop putting it there. I do not know of a way to put it on an approved
list in AOL, if AOL even has one, as some of the other email list programs
have to allow email to come through a spam filter.

Great birding and find that next lifer,

torn between our own desire to be free -- to shoot and
develop and cut down and expand -- and the desire to live
among free things that can only survive only if we are less free.
