, I moderate two groups. I sometimes get join requests with messages like

that that have no real content. I always email them back asking why they want

to join the group, and I've virtually never gotten a reply back. Spammers, I'm

sure. But I always try anyway, just in case it's a real person.

I hear you Trudy. I won't approve anyone like that either myself. This group has several moderators. I gave this heads up in case someone else hadn't seen it yet. I don't expect him/her to reply back but I may get surprised.To: asthma Sent: Sat, July 10, 2010 2:40:10 PMSubject: Re: To Moderators-person seeking membership
