Ron,
I tried to send this message to you directly, but got a
challenge-response message back. As I don't ever click on those
challenge-response links, I have no choice but to reply to you via the
VAGEN-L mailing list.
As you can see from the message below, Prince Edward has already been
claimed by Tami Ramsey. But beyond the fact that it has already been
claimed by someone else, I would be quite leary of turning over anything I
admin to someone who uses a challenge-response system and therefore can
never be contacted directly. Freddie, please forgive me for stating my
opinion, now that I am an ex-CC, but I don't feel that it is advisable for
admins to use these challenge-response systems. There are numerous
occassions where people not in my address book have contacted me in the
past to ask questions about Prince Edward county. By having a
challenge-response system in place, an admin is basically sending the
message of "leave me alone and don't bother me", which I think is the
wrong message to send; I'm certainly not the only one who chooses not to
click on challenge-response links.
-- Just my 2 cents,
Mary Taffet (now former CC of Prince Edward county)

Ron,
Yes, it is. But Prince Edward has already been turned over to Tami
Ramsey, so is no longer available for a new admin.
-- Sorry,
Mary Taffet

Hi all,
I never actually volunteered to be the CC for Prince Edward County; it
was given to me, along with the message board, after I volunteered to
admin the VAPRINCE mailing list some years ago. As I have been a
graduate student for quite a few years now, I have never been able to do
the county site justice because I just haven't had the time.
But now I need to cut back on the number of items I admin (including
mailing lists and message boards) so that I can concentrate on
completing my dissertation. If anybody out there wants to take over the
Prince Edward County site, please let me know. The mailing list and
message board can also be part of the package as was the case for me, or
I can split them up and offer the mailing list and message board to
somebody else.
-- Thanks,
Mary
