Hello from the Elsmar Cove!
Hi! My name is Marc Smith. I'm the fellow who has kept the Elsmar Cove web site online since January 1996.
I am writing you because:
1. Many people have registered over the years in the forums. Many have come and gone and their e-mail addressed are long 'dead'. I want to mark them as such in the user database. To know which e-mail addresses are dead, I have to e-mail each registered visitor and see if the e-mail bounces.
2. I am considering sending out a monthly news letter. Many people have expressed an interest in a monthly 'Elsmar Cove' news letter. In this e-mail, at this time, I want to tell you beforehand how to 'opt out' from receiving any future mailings. I hate spam, as I'm sure you do. The last thing I want is for anyone to think they *have* to receive the newsletter. So - You registered in the Elsmar Cove forums. All you have to do is go to your *User Options* (
http://Elsmar.com/Forums/profile.php?do=editoptions ), scroll down to *Messaging & Notification* block under which you will see *Receive Email* and then below that *Receive Email from Administrators* with a check box. If you 'uncheck' that box you will not receive the newsletter.
Now - If you use that link and you erased cookies since your last visit, or if you did not have 'Remember Me' checked, it will ask you for your user name and password because the software will not recognize you.
Your user name: If you've forgotten, it is $username
Your e-mail address is $email - If you would like to change where you receive e-mail, please go to:
http://Elsmar.com/Forums/profile.php?do=editpassword
If yu have forgotten your password, go to this page:
http://Elsmar.com/Forums/login.php?do=lostpw
The e-mail address you first registered with will be required. If it has changed, e-mail me at
http://Elsmar.com/Forums/sendmessage.php and I'll help you.
While I hope you don't 'opt out' from the news letter (it will be short and to the point without 'bloat'), I'll understand if you do. You can always opt out at any time, so I do hope you'll wait for the first news letter before you do so.
I don't want to make this long - But I do want to bring to your attention an article by Allan J. Sayle Titled "Towards a global cyber institute". The thread is

I want to thank you for reading this and if you have any trouble with the 'opt out' process, e-mail me at:

Regards,
Marc Smith
