I regretfully have to announce that we have had to restrict postings to s-news to only individuals who are subscribed to the list.  Unfortunately, the current rash of infected machines which have the s-news address on them produces a very large number of submissions which have to be manually rejected.  SPAM which is not identified by our spam filters also requires manual rejection.  On the other hand, there are only an average of 1 to 2 valid submissions per day from nonsubscribers.

 

Thankfully, none of these have actually been distributed to subscribers via s-news.

 

Submissions from nonsubscribers will be pointed to the S-news information page (http://www.biostat.wustl.edu/s-news/) where information about subscribing is found.

 

For those of you who read s-news via a local remailer (which we discourager) or want to post from several different email addresses (but receive list email on only one), it is possible to subscribe and then set the nomail option.  I will try to get instructions distributed about this approach in the next several days.

 

If you wish to discuss this action, please send it to s-news-advisory@lists.biostat.wustl.edu, not back to s-news itself.
