[Vwdiesel] Lee & others , subscription errors + OT content

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

Lee,

Thanks,
The problem is;
You go to the webpage, put in your email addr and password---no problem so
far.
You get an email back right away saying to confirm your subscription---no
problem.
You THEN get an error email back from the mailer-daemon @ vwfans.com
The reason (AFAICT) is that when you reply to vwdiesel-request at vwfans.com
(like you're instructed to) it won't work.
Someone suggested to me (sorry, I forget who, to give you proper credit) to
reply to vwdiesel-request at audifans.com
and, voila! it worked perfectly.  Nobody would think to do this, so I am
surprised you would have ANY new members at all, since whenever this has
been happening ! !

The only reason I was able to sign up, is I went searching through the
archives, emailed a dozen of you and some kind soul replied with this
method.
Emails to dans at whatever went unanswered !

How many other folks have wanted to sign up but got frustrated (rightly so)
because their subscription got denied, through some glitch which is so
easily fixed with 30seconds of changing "vwfans.com" to "audifans.com" (both
on the site and the return email the automatic mailer robot sends you)

Thanks,

Mike ve9aa, yes I am a HAM operator, hi  hi! 73
