[BerkeleyDailyPlanet] The Same Old Planet News Sent a New Way

Fri Nov 21 15:13:23 PST 2014

This issue is coming to you using a new and (I earnestly hope) easier route.
With help from a tech-savvy friend of the Planet (yes, the same one who’s
helping us organize a quick comment system!) we’ve established a mailing
list on the MailMan system at sonic.net.  The “from” on your email letter
will be different, and your spam filter might not let it through if you
have that kind of email.

Over the weekend I’ll be sending another letter using the old system to
find out if you’ve gotten the new kind of message today.  It’s not nearly
as complicated as it sounds, and if it works it will make my life much
easier.

So below, as always, are all the links from the last two weeks.  Welcome,
by the way, to all the new subscribers, quite a few this week.

Rain, rain, don’t go away—we’ll need more rain another day.  Go out and
step in some puddles.
