[CALV-ARES] Duplication of messages

[Eric Christensen]

Good morning,

I was talking with Dave W3PQS this morning and he reminded me of an 
issue I knew I was introducing and have, until now, not explained.  
Luckily it's a technical and process issue so it's quite easy to remedy.

Our website allows us to send an email out when something is posted 
there.  This makes it quite easy to keep up with what's happening and 
get a fairly quick notification to new content.  Several people (around 
fifteen) subscribed to this service so you'd receive the information in 
your inboxes.  Then I came along an threw a wrench into the whole thing. 
I subscribed our mailing list to the blog so that the email that comes 
from the website would go to the mailing list.  This means that everyone 
on the mailing list gets the update as well as people that have directly 
subscribed to the website.  This, obviously, has led to duplication.

The fix is simple.  If you receive duplicate messages, and you don't 
want to receive duplicate, just select the link at the bottom of the 
message that comes from the website (not the mailing list) to 
unsubscribe.

Currently, my plan is to pass website emails to the mailing list as a 
way to maintain the record and allow people to reply to those messages 
to start a discussion.  If you don't like this plan please let me know 
and we can talk about it.
