New email list provider and an apology

I received feedback from a number of concerned readers yesterday when it appears that some of you received strange looking emails. I changed my email list providers and apparently this new service has sent you guys something that asked you to “click here to confirm”. Some were concerned this was not from me and perhaps a spam email. Have no fear, it was me, although I do apologize for not informing you before hand. It was poor management of the process and I’m sorry for that.

Why did you do this?
I have some changes happening here and so I wanted a way to separate reader communication and website content. Until yesterday I had to post something on the website in order for people to know about it (like what I’m doing in this post). This new method will allow me to keep in contact with you guys and have the website content focused on Buddhism, philosophy, meditation and all that good stuff rather than my dribbling about nothing…although some might say in my case these two are mutually inclusive.

What will you send me if I join this new list?

• New website content notifications.
• General news and information such as when I go into retreat or I am away because of other commitments.

What does this mean for the readers currently getting content via email? Those signed up via the old provider got new website content via email. This service will be turned off in about two weeks. So if you are one of those readers please sign up to the new list.

If I sign up how often will I get these emails?
I will send out newsletters only when there is something useful to be informed of. So it is likely to be more often than the current system and I think on average it is likely to be one or two per week.

So, I apologize for any inconvenience this confusion has caused you and I thank you for your understanding.

Oh and by the way if you want to sign up for this new list you can do so at anytime but, you need to do this on the website and remember you can also unsubscribe at any time.
