Is it resolved now or still ongoing??

I don't remember hearing the outcome.

Hi - I got in fine, but no emails ! Have reverified email address just in case - will wait and see what happens for a while now ! Thank you

SaintGeorge · 08/05/2007 20:51

scatterbrain - I have just sent you a test email from the group.

Also there are a couple of posts on the group today so you should, hopefully, get a daily digest within the next 18hrs or so. Not an interesting read but not a lot of gossip at the moment

If you are still having problems let me know.

CuriousSquid · 08/05/2007 20:37

As far as i know (i asked recently) mediation is ongoing and we will be told when they are allowed to tell us/if there is anything to update us with

scatterbrain · 08/05/2007 20:30

Yep that's me - but no email on 12th April or any since ! Will go and have a look at Yahoo now and check I haven't got to do something !

Thanks for checking !

SaintGeorge · 08/05/2007 16:48

Right, think I have the right one this time.

Lizzia.surname at yahoo etc

Is that you?

If it is then membership was granted on the 12th April. The system is telling me it sent you an automated email on the same date. Apologies if you didn't get that but I have no control over it.

The membership is set to daily digest which means you should get an automated mail showing all postings on the group on a daily basis, assuming there are any posts. By my reckoning you should have received at least half a dozen of those by now. I can't see any problem at the group end to stop you getting those.

I'm stuck for any other answers I'm afraid (unless I have the wrong name again ).

SaintGeorge · 08/05/2007 16:28

OK, sorry I was guessing because the Yahoo id was similiar to your MN name.

I will keep an eye out for your email.

If you can't find your Yahoo id just email me from the same email addy you applied with, I can try to trace via that.

I really am puzzled as I have not ignored anyone who has applied.

scatterbrain · 08/05/2007 10:44

No that's not me. Will try and find yahoo id and email you. I had no reply at all.

SaintGeorge · 07/05/2007 13:23

Sorry, I meant your Yahoo id. The email I have listed is a NTL world address.

SaintGeorge · 07/05/2007 13:21

In fact I have just checked the membership list and if your email is a scatty feline then you were granted membership on the 14th April and an email was sent to you telling you that.

VVVQV is a moderator by the way not the owner, I own the group.

SaintGeorge · 07/05/2007 13:17

scatterbrain - I have rejected very few applications to the group and I do not recall you being one of them.

Please email me if you have a problem.

The Yahoo group is not a clique. It is in my name and I have to be careful. I have replied to every email I have received requesting entry so if you have not received a reply it is a system error somewhere, not a deliberate snub.

although idon't know how people manage to MN and MSN, tiger...

AitchTwoOh · 05/05/2007 15:08

pmsl again... the yahoo group maybe gets one posting on it a week, it's not a hotbed of intrigue and gossip.
it was, at the time, just a place for people to talk about campaign-y type things without loads of journalists looking, it was a place where people could talk about the swmnbn doc on five and now it's a place where people occasionally ask 'does anyone know what's happening with MN and SWMNBN?' to which the answer is, no, nothing snce justine updated MN...

tigermoth · 05/05/2007 15:00

how do people have the time to do the yahoo group thing and mumsnet!

(Perhaps they are the ones who never iron and have dishwashers and broadband......)

scatterbrain · 05/05/2007 14:58

No - I was fed up tbh !

AitchTwoOh · 05/05/2007 14:58

yeah, well there is that, fff.

tigermoth · 05/05/2007 14:57

ah, scatterbrain, that doesn't sound good

FiveFingeredFiend · 05/05/2007 14:57

They make you dress in leather and whip an effigy of Aloha. Meanwhile you must chant " M.P. rocket, lebanon don't knock it. M.P. rocket, Lebanon don't knock it.

Then you must give up your oldest child to the holy lentil weavers, who take them and teach them how to grow herbs and wear natual fibres grown only from the fur of vegan fed animals.

AitchTwoOh · 05/05/2007 14:56

pmsl, it's not a cliquey thing. much more likely to be human error.
i don't recognise half the names of the people on the yahoo group, there are loads of them. if it's a clique it's a sodding enormous one...

scatterbrain · 05/05/2007 14:53

When I tried to join the group I did email the owner saying it was me - scatterbrain who actually was here at THE BEGINNING - and had no reply to my email and no permission to join. IMO it is a cliqey thing - same person ignored my posts about it on a thread ! Not that I care - I just wanted to knoe what was happeneing - not join the clique !

tigermoth · 05/05/2007 14:49

have no idea, don't belong to said yahoo group, assume nothing has changed much since justine last updated us.

LilRedWG · 05/05/2007 14:43

So, does anyone actually know what happened with SWMNBN?

FiveFingeredFiend · 05/05/2007 14:41

scatterbrain try

AitchTwoOh · 05/05/2007 14:41

no one knows at all yet. the yahoo group not accepting everyon is less likely to be a clique thing and more a 'check you're not a journo' thing. did you namechange or join after the big kerfuffle? the 'owner' of the group would be subject, presumably, to the same treatment from swmnbn if things said there were publicised so i think they're sensible to be cautious.

JARM · 05/05/2007 14:39

nothing mentioned on the yahoo group anyway.

I know nothing more than the last update
