Users of Klarinet and Tallship:

Due to a recent "subscribe storm" on the Internet, the Klarinet
and Tallship Discussion lists have been closed to automatic
subscriptions.

This past weekend, a number of people were "subscribed" to our lists
including the President and First Lady. In an effort to stem this
tide, requests for subscriptions will no longer be automatic but will
require the owner's permission before the subscription is complete.

This will have no effect on current subscribers.

Thanks for your patience,

Cap
