&gt; Dear Moderator,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; It seems that there might be something to do with posts from Ms Bekele.....<br>
&gt; Why was the email below not seen by others?<br>
<br>
</div>(speaking for the list-admin)<br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
This is an unmoderated list.  That means, that if are a subscriber to this list, and you wish to post an opinion, you are able to, without restriction from the mailing list operators.<br>
<br>
To help reduce spam, we *do* however, restrict posting to list members only.<br>
That is - you *must* subscribe to the mailing list first;  this is typical for most mailing lists run nowadays, and is considered Best Practice.<br>
List members are identified by their unique email addresses.<br>
List membership is free, and open to anyone.<br>
<br>
I am unable to find any list member with the email address:  &quot;<a href="mailto:sophiabekele@yahoo.com">sophiabekele@yahoo.com</a>&quot;, which is the from-address in the message you forwarded below.<br>
The closest match that I found was:  &quot;<a href="mailto:sophiabekele@gmail.com">sophiabekele@gmail.com</a>&quot;.<br>
<br>
Should you wish to post directly from the @<a href="http://yahoo.com" target="_blank">yahoo.com</a> address, you&#39;d first need to be &quot;join&quot; the mailing list as that user.  We&#39;re unfortunately, unable to verify if these are the same people.<br>

Instructions on how to join the list are available here:  <a href="https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/africann" target="_blank">https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo.cgi/africann</a><br>
(This is the same URL that is automatically added to the bottom of every message of this list).<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>
