As many of you will be aware, Groups.io is currently carrying out a 'reverification' process on a proportion of its membership. This will affect a number of members of the DIscussion Group; if you receive an email from Groups.io asking you to verify your membership it is important that you follow the instructions in that email otherwise your account will be automatically deleted.
At least one person has responded to the message by posting to the Discussion Group that they wish to remain a member; this will not achieve anything since the reverification process is not specific to any particular groups, and group admins (even when there is one) cannot do anything to help. Only by following one of the steps outlined in the email can you verify your account and remain a member.
I wonder if I can also take this opportunity to clear up a misunderstanding. In May 2021 I promised never again to post to the Discussion Group, it having been made very clear that my posts were neither welcome nor wanted there. I have not broken that promise; if you have seen messages from me (like this one) it has only been because of the automatic forwarding from the Forum.
You can block these forwarded messages, if you wish to, because they all have the tag #feed. I know some members have chosen to do exactly that.
