I'd suggest you send a test email to that (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

Therefore I think that if a user request is rejected, a reason for the (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-05, to lugnet.admin.suggestions)

I think preference should be given to explaining a descision rather than not, but of course, that isn't always possible. Legoswami (PS (...)
