I try to join the list, get an online confirmation, but then never hear from anyone again. What’s the problem?
A. The list server will send you a message asking you to confirm that you really do want to join the list. This message should arrive within a few minutes, or within a few hours at most even at busy times. If you don’t hear from the list server the most likely reason is that you’ve mistyped your e-mail address. The easiest solution is to try again. But if problems persist, try joining by e-mail instead. If even that doesn’t work, e-mail me direct and I’ll try to sort matters out for you. If your e-mail address is inside a large organisation, it may be that the message requiring confirmation has been blocked by your mail system, perhaps as a security measure. This is useful to know, as the same thing would happen to the e-magazines themselves. We can’t help you in this case: to sort matters out, you need to talk to your system administrator. Your system may need to allow one or more of these addresses through: listserv@listserv.linguistlist.org worldwidewords@listserv.linguistlist.org w
