    Huh? What I am supposed to do about this?
    I joined to join, maybe do what one does on a list. I am moving to Galway in the Spring.
    I've done nothing wrong and hope to straighten this out.
    Please advise.
    thanks
    a real gem

    That's a standard message sent to everyone when they join.

    I reckon it could be re-done so that the happiness of having the new user (you in this case) join the site could be pushed a bit more while keeping the warnings in the message to the thousands (really, it's been thousands) of spammers and nuisance types we've had sign up but it's not something you need to be concerned about - it wasn't targeted at you for any reason, there's no intended hint that you've done anything wrong.

    Welcome to boards and enjoy Galway when you make your way there!
