I got the attached email in response to a polite request to join the enigma2000 list. While I understand the need for participation, this response seemed a bit over the top. Is that group the insufferable gang of pr**ks that such a response might lead one to believe, or am I just having a really bad day?
I replied by canceling my request to join.

Respectfully, we are looking for active members, not lurkers, lifters and users; if that is your intention we’d rather you do not join.
You can acquire a fully functional, all traits, newsletter from:
www.enigma2000.org.uk
However, if you wish to become a valid and contributing member please send an email, to the stated address below, stating your reasons for wishing to join enclosing details of any number stations you have intercepted over the last seven days.
Please be aware that possession of an amateur radio Call Sign is not an acceptable reason for membership.
Reapplicants please note: We are not keen to invite past members who take rather than post into Group, especially those removed through inactivity.
We reserve the right to deny membership to any applicant and will do so if your initial approach to us does not meet our requirements. We also remove those who appear not be contributing.
Should you not reply within the next three days your application will be denied.
Thank you for your application to join ENIGMA 2000.
Regards,
List owner
