Joy package 2: I just attempted to re-subscribe with the same email address I was pretty sure I had already used a decade ago, and

    An attempt was made to subscribe your address to the mailing list

    [email protected]. You are already subscribed to this mailing list.

    Note that the list membership is not public, so it is possible that a bad

    person was trying to probe the list for its membership. This would be a

    privacy violation if we let them do this, but we didn't.

    If you submitted the subscription request and forgot that you were already

    subscribed to the list, then you can ignore this message. If you suspect that

    an attempt is being made to covertly discover whether you are a member of this

    list, and you are worried about your privacy, then feel free to send a message

    to the list administrator at [email protected].

This is fantastic. I want to be maximally anonymous on a neutrino influx alert mailing list, absolutely, yes.

I'm still intermittently lol'ing, but I guess we can call off the testing scheme requiring a supernova?
