Since the end of Google Groups, that list is now on groups.io, and I can't =
find any way to join it. Apparently you have to be brought in and connected=
 by an existing member. So this list is my only direct contact with WSFA no=

This list, intended for past and present WSFA members, is 19 years old
today.

There have been more than 17,000 messages from more than 70 people,
an average of 920 messages per year, though most of them were in the
early years.

I kept it going after WSFA changed its official list to a Yahoogroups
list, since many people refused to use Yahoogroups.

Last year I added to this annual message:

=C2=A0 Now that the club has wisely replaced the Yahoogroups list with a
=C2=A0 Googlegroups list, does anyone object to my phasing out this list
=C2=A0 and encouraging people to move to that list?=C2=A0 Thanks.

I since learned the hard way that the Googlegroups list has secret
rules, and if you violate one of them you will be permanently banned
without appeal.=C2=A0 So I will continue to keep this list going.=C2=A0 Nob=
ody
has ever been banned from this list.=C2=A0 Someone please post this fact
to the Googlegroups list and to everyone who has been banned from it.
Thanks.
