Hi Julius,
There is a separate e-mail list for the board, but I think the concern was that the error within Constant Contact extended beyond the board to other long-term members who all of a sudden stopped receiving all IDSA communications without specifically opting out. So the decision was made to reach out to everyone and provide them with a “resubscribe” link if they were dropped by mistake. Apparently that’s the only way to resubscribe folks with Constant Contact, but I can understand your irritation.
Anyway, I’m glad we straightened this out and thanks for bringing it to IDSA’s attention–constructive feedback is always appreciated. Despite their best intentions, sometimes honest mistakes are made and I appreciate your understanding.
Cheers,
