You are receiving this special notice because many of you receive the newsletter Yarnspinners and Wordweavers, have been interviewed by them and have enjoyed it. Also, this is what author friends do for author friends.

Yarnspinners and Wordweavers' newsletter service has been hacked. Many are trying to unsubscribe because of unwanted e-mail and they are doing it by hitting the reply button (or the reply-all button. If you are one of them, please help by reading this:

I am getting delete messages from Y&W subscribers just as you are. It is not my list, either. I am just a fellow subscriber but I know the editor well. The Yarnspinners and Wordweavers people are suffering from a glitch or vandalism. If you receive delete or unsubscribe messages that have anything to do with this newsletter please:

1. Ignore and delete.
2. Do not click on reply. Do not click on reply-all.
3. If you do wish to unsubscribe please send Joyce Faulkner an e-mail to katieseyes@aol.com. But be advised that she can unsubscribe you but that will not mean the end of this round of unwanted e-mails. I'd rather see you delete and wait and read the next issue when Joyce finally sorts all this out--probably with a new server. Yarnspinners and Wordweavers is filled with information about bookstores, interviews and reviews--all content that we can use.

Note: The editor of Y&W is not receiving these unsubscribe notices and many "unsubscribers" forwarded to her were never even ON her list.

Thank you for listening. If you are a tech wizard, I'm sure Joyce would love hearing from you with a possible remedy--or just send her your condolences: katieseyes@aol.com
