This was probably a little more testy than I generally prefer to be.  I am
not interested in excluding anyone from this group, regardless of
preferences over technology or privacy.  But by the time the discussion
came up, I had already invested a fair amount of work, the setup had been
installed for two weeks, and most of the people from the February Capclave
meeting had already joined.  Keith didn't see his invitation because it
came as HTML mail.

I've done the following in hopes of making the system useful to all
interested parties:

1.  Anyone with internet access may post to:  capclave at yahoogroups.com.

2.  There is now a proxy account signed on as a group member.  This account
will receive all mail as plain text.  Anyone wishing to receive plain text
mail can contact me and I'll add them to the forwarding on this
account--which is handled outside of Yahoo!.  Yahoo!  will not need to know
of your existence, except possibly as someone who has sent mail to a Yahoo!
group.
