About Chimera subscribe

Elaine: While using Chimera (to which I was already subscribed on a personal basis) I was asked to subscribe as 15-days trial had elapsed. I though I had to do to be able to continue using Chimera. Then I received two messages, one to confirm, the other one warning as reported below. This mail simply because I suspect there is a bug in the subscribing service.

Hello Francesco, Subscribing to the chimera-users mailing list and registering as a chimera user are two different things. Neither are required to keep using Chimera, although after several uses it "encourages" you to register. Maybe you signed up for chimera-users mail previously, and then when you registered, you also chose the option to sign up for this mailing list again (it might be on by default). I only say that because you said you were already subscribed on a personal basis. I doubt there is any reason for concern. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.
