  1. Some of you seemed to be a little suspicious of the motives behind this collection of email
    addresses to be sent to a throwaway email account, so as an alternative we are offering the groups
    web page URL, where you can fill your own details in. The rule remains that only genuine ISP email
    addresses will be accepted into the group.

    This is a genuine attempt by a group of like minded people to solve a problem which is wrecking so
    many of these groups.

    You would be wasting your time less if you posted this to newsgroups that were actually being
    wrecked by abusers. As a long-term lurker and occasional poster to this group, I cannot say that I
    have noticed that being much of a problem here.

    Now, on the other hand, if you were trying to solve the problem of Scottish students and the West
    Highland Way....

  5. So you're still using a hotmail address then, despite other people not being
    allowed to use theirs???
