Message-ID: <434C9B52.7020703@heypete.com>

Greetings all,

It's been quite some time (in excess of two years, I believe) since I
last posted any messages to the SpamCop Digest. As such, many of you
probably had forgotten you had subscribed to the list.

Here's what's happening:

1) You may remember that I was called up to serve in the US Army for
service in Iraq. During training, my foot was injured, and I was
honorably discharged for medical reasons from the military, and am now a
private citizen again. Due to my injuries, I did not deploy with my
unit...which I have mixed feelings about.

2) SpamCop now has a flourishing community in the SpamCop Forums and
SpamCop newsgroups (I tend to use the newsgroups, simply because I
prefer using my newsreader program, MT-NewsWatcher, to keep track of
posts rather than browing a website). While this has always been true,
it's even more so now.

3) The original point of the SpamCop Digest mailing list no longer
really applies; updates to the service are available on the SpamCop
website, and much more suitable means of getting information about the
service exists.

4) After returning from the military, I am now enrolled again in
college, and am striving to major in physics, and eventually become some
type of physicist. As such, I lack the time or energy to maintain the list.

As such, the SpamCop Digest list will be disbanded in the next week or
two, and all subscription information (including subscribers email
addresses) will be purged and deleted. This will not affect your
subscriptions to the SpamCop service, other mailing lists, or the forum.
It will only apply to this mailing list alone.

I certainly have enjoyed maintaining the list over the last several
years, and took great pleasure in conveying useful information to
subscribers of the list. It's been a pleasuring serving all of you, and
perhaps I will have the honor to do so again in the future.

Cheers!
