[Harp-L] Bassharp - dont give up

[Drew MacFadyen <drew@xxxxxxxx>]

I second Michaels comments Danny, it was obvious you had been hacked.  I
don't know you, but have visited your page countless times over the years
and would be very sad to see it discontinued.  I for one have had the
pleasure of seeing many MANY great artists that were playing a hole in the
wall around the corner simply because I checked your list.

Of course your gig list is independent of the Harp-L mailing list, but If
it helps, I can volunteer to post the giglist on your behalf regularly.  I
know you were accepting donations at one time and as now seems like a good
time to make one, let us know how we can help support the work you do.  I
am sure many professionals find the list invaluable in generating support
and attendance for their gigs.

Regards,

Danny,
Instead of stopping email harp-l, I recommend getting a new email address
and starting over.  Consider:

1. Anyone who knows you quickly spotted that you had been hacked because
the email was out of character and talking about thing a phish scam person
talks about.
2. You were alerted within the first couple of hours.

Don't let the hackers restrict your freedom.  Accept the fact that there
are bad eggs in the world and that the damage was minimal and will
probably be minimal in the future.

If you were to stop being a part of the community and stop your gig list,
that would be major.

However, on a side note, I have noticed multiple emails from you in the
past about whether or not you should continue the gig list.
Although I know many of us appreciate the service, if you are no longer
enjoying it, feel no responsibility to continue it.  It is your life, do
as you please.
