If you were removed for marking a GIO message as spam

Some peeps have been bounced off the member list and had to re-sign up. Just a tip -- If a GIO email ends up in your SPAM mailbox, *DO NOT* empty the spam folder or delete the GIO message while it's in the Spam folder. Your email provider will treat it as SPAM and will likely send a notice to GIO that it is sending SPAM (which obviously it isn't) and GIO will bounce you off the member list. INSTEAD - *MARK* the GIO email as "Not Spam" or *MOVE* it to your INBOX before you empty your spam folder. *ADD the address Catalina30@groups.io* into your email client's contact list to help prevent your email provider from marking IO Group messages as spam.
