About Grouply

[Guest guest]

This is the information Linie posted in the PBC digest about grouply.. I think

you would know right away if you have any as they would send out emails to

others in the group.

There are a few new services coming online which are social

" networking " sites similar to My Space and Facebook. One of these new

services is called " Grouply " . Grouply is tapping lists and

reposting the messages to Grouply members. As soon as ONE list member

joins this service, all of our messages will then be archived by

Grouply. Grouply changes your email address to (yourname)@grouply. com.

for the purpose of your list mail only. They will also go into

your account and change all of your preferences regarding how

you view your mail, whether you get individual posts or digests, and

whether you can be directly added to any of a million other .

In order to do this, Grouply requires that you give them your ID

and password. I am truly hoping that most of our members are smart

enough not to hand over that information to ANYONE--especially to

another web service! There is no guarantee that this information that

Grouply is aggregating is secure, thus leaving your sign-in info

available to spammers and hackers--including all of our list files and

photos.

At this point, there is no way for us to block Grouply's access to our

list (although that is being worked on). Until there is, I will be

checking daily for list members who may have innocently joined

Grouply. I will be unsubbing and banning them, plus making direct

contact with them explaining why we will not allow this in our

membership. They will be welcome to rejoin once they unsub from Grouply

That makes sense, because all of a sudden, I have been receiving creepy stuff

from my account. I never open it, but if my name has been given out, that

would explain why the garbage has been coming. I simply forward it to the abuse

section of my server.

I have never gone to the grouply place, so it must have been from another one

joining. Dang.....that makes me mad that someone did this!
