Subscribing to the Newsletter
The process should be simple - type in your email
address and click a link in a confirmation email you receive.
More specifically:

page which says you will receive an email to confirm. Note:
you must type in a valid email address; those who do not are not
subscribed. (We get many bounces from bad email addresses that are
entered.)
2. You receive an email asking you to click the link in order to
confirm. It looks like this:

for how others can subscribe to the newsletter. It looks like this:
The reason for the "double opt-in" procedure described
above is to ensure that no one is subscribed without their consent.
In the days of ubiquitous spam, we want to make sure that our system
is not abused to become part of the problem.
If the process didn't work as described, please send an
email to
this address, so 1) we can fix the problem and 2) you will be subscribed
to the newsletter.
