After suggesting my site for this directory I got this email but I don't understand it fully. Can someone tell me exactly what I am now meant to do so my site will be reviewed? Where is this special address? Dear Mark, Thanks for suggesting xxxx, with the URL: http://www.xxx.com. We apologize for the inconvenience, but after testing numerous spam-prevention tools, we have identified a low-cost method that effectively eliminates our need to wade through thousands of suggestion-box junk email messages while keeping our suggestion program barrier-free for our visually-challenged readers. We hope to get more sophisticated next year, funding permitting, but bear with us. Basically, we ask that you think through this message, and then, if your site REALLY meets our criteria, follow through with a response to the special address listed below. If you are a librarian, government worker, nonprofit manager, or someone who has previously submitted a website we have published, let us know in your reply, at the TOP of the message. We will prioritize your suggestion. Please note that we will probably not respond to your enquiry, particularly if the site in question does not meet our selection criteria, which can be found at: http://lii.org/pub/htdocs/selectioncriteria.htm Sincerely, Karen G. Schneider and the team at Librarians' Internet Index http://lii.org Send your idea for LII to liigoodstuff at gmail.com Suggestions sent anywhere else will be deleted unread.
Message decoded. The first email address provided is just to collect all the junk as a low cost spam filter. And we warn you again that your site must meet the selection criteria. Then if you are very serious, send your suggestion to the email address attached within this email. You should edit out their email address from your post when you have a chance.
Yah it just sounds like a prevention method to weed out a free directory submittals tool. By requiring a second email and having only what you assume is a qualified site come through it makes their job easier. Funny thing is that's what makes it low cost, you do the work
