Actual Freedom – The Actual Freedom Mailing List Correspondence

20.11.2000

Dear No. 12,

With reference to your request to have a reciprocal link on The Actual Freedom Home Page to your web site we wish to advise that The Actual Freedom Trust long ago made a policy decision not to go down that road. The Trust has received such requests before and the main draw-back to the practice is that it has been noticed that Home Pages which do so inevitably end up having a profusion of such links and logos once the precedence is set. This practice serves to detract from the Home Page’s main function as a welcoming and introductory page and serves to turn it into a sometimes gaudy and often confusing event.

It is also considered imperative to keep a Home Page’s loading time to a minimum. However there is no reason why a reciprocal link or reference links cannot be featured elsewhere on the site. The Actual Freedom Trust provides such links as all points of view are welcome – whether in alignment to what is actual or opposed to what is actual or anywhere in between – as it is important that a reader not be presented with a one-sided or censored account of how different people experience the words and writings detailing a virtual and actual freedom from the human condition. This is why correspondence and articles are published uncensored and are edited only for the obvious legal reasons and for reasons of anonymity, format and readability.

We thank you for your interest.

Yours sincerely,

The Directors

The Actual Freedom Trust

As ListBot has advised that they will be closing down all discussion-type mailing lists, as of 06 August 2001, I have been looking around for a new venue for The Actual Freedom Mailing List with the intention to shift sometime in the next couple of weeks. In the last 48 hours, however, the ListBot mailing list service has developed some glitches and the last three E-Mails (numbers 2328, 2329 and 2330), for example, are stuck in the archives featuring a ‘An error has occurred. That message is not available for display’ warning sign.

Consequently, I have shifted The Actual Freedom Mailing List to the service offered by ‘Topica’ and an invitation to all persons currently subscribed to this ListBot service is being sent out at this very moment inviting subscription to The Actual Freedom Mailing List at its new venue. The invitation requires a confirming reply being sent by the recipient so as to ensure that nobody is subscribed against their wishes. Any current subscriber not wanting to shift to Topica simply need do nothing at all and the invitation will languish.

Anybody with outstanding messages not yet replied to are advised to re-send them to the new address (after the confirmation of their subscription reply arrives, of course). As is presently the case, all subscriptions are un-vetted and all posts are un-moderated. The new archives will available to be read on-line at any time at the following URL: http://www.topica.com/lists/actualfreedom/read (closed as of 7/9/2006)

The new E-Mail address for all future messages to The Actual Freedom Mailing List is as follows: actualfreedom@topica.com (closed as of 7/9/2006)
