[sword-devel] Fowarding support emails

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Eeli, yes, this is a very good point.  I believe many of us realized 
this problem after ourselves having forwarded private info to a public 
forum.  I have taken your suggestion and added the following text to the 
sword-support welcome email:

NOTE: THIS LIST IS NOT PUBLICLY ARCHIVED AND THE SENDERS TO THIS LIST 
HAVE NO IDEA THEY ARE EVEN SENDING EMAIL TO A MAILING LIST.  PLEASE *DO 
NOT* FORWARD THESE MESSAGES TO ANY PUBLIC LIST (e.g. sword-devel).  IT 
IS FINE TO ASK A QUESTION ELSEWHERE, BUT PLEASE KEEP THE PERSONAL 
IDENTITIES FROM THESE EMAILS PRIVATE.

Thank you for the suggestion, and a very hearty thank you for all the 
recent support emails you have answered!  You can't imagine how much of 
a blessing that is to just me personally; much more, the actual users 
whom you've helped!

	-Troy.
