[This message is automatically sent to all membership applicants.]

Hi! We're the moderators of the Stark Labs Astronomy Software group.

Assuming you gave a plausible reason for joining the group, we'll accept
your membership just as soon as one of us checks in. However, because
of our anti-spam policy, we don't admit members who give reasons like
"I want in" or "to learn" or "asdf" (to give some recent examples). Just
about anything mentioning astronomy, astrophotography, one of Stark
Labs' programs, etc, is more than good enough.

NOTE: Nothing you enter on an email subscription request will be
received by the moderators. You must subscribe via the web page
or send a note to the moderators separately at the address below.

So if you find yourself having requested membership at 3am or some
other time when you couldn't think of a reason for joining, send us a
note at: <stark-labs-astronomy-software-owner@yahoogroups.com>.
If we don't hear from you after a day or two we'll simply reject your
membership, but you are quite welcome to reapply.

It's a shame that spammers (who sometimes join groups just to harvest
email addresses from messages) have ruined it for the rest of us, but
by being careful up-front we can keep the group friendly and low-key
the rest of the time.

-Ed Hall, group owner.
