Although it claims to know me and wanted to send password, John looked into it, and has since informed me I'm not on the announce list, which begs the question how many others aren't, so the vote announcements should have been CC'd to THIS list, rather than assume every single member also bothered to sub to announce list, which I'm rather sure not every does/did/would.<br>

<div>even subscribed.</div><div><br></div><div>It's also not unheard of for a main list to be subscribed to an announce list, so all announce emails are sent to the </div><div>main list automatically without needing to CC every time. But I guess that's up to the list admins.</div>
<div><br></div><div>On another slightly related topic, there might be a bug in the memberdb app, I was a member years ago under</div><div>a different email address, I changed the old email address to my new one last year, and then it forgot I was a member</div>
<div>and it asked me to click a link to join, which I thought I did, and many months later when I log in, it still asks me to </div><div>click a link to join. So I guess that means I'm not a member?</div><div><br></div>
<div>I'll try joining again.</div></div>
