Within the past week, we have 
received seven new requests to subscribe to Anthem Opinions. Three of them have 
had problems following the necessary steps to complete the subscription 
request.
In addition we have also been 
informed some readers do not receive our elbasts whenever new articles have been 
written.
First, 
let's address our subscription 
policy.
This is a two 
step process...as per the instructions on the Welcome 
Screen.
Many subscribers merely enter their 
email address, and believe that completes the 
process.
IT DOES 
NOT..a second step is required.
Once you send us 
your email address, you will almost immediately receive an email from this 
address:
This email will say the 
following:
-----------------------------------------------------
Hello there,
You recently requested an email subscription to Anthem Opinions. We can't wait to send the updates you want via email, so please click the following link to activate your subscription immediately:

This message was sent to you by FeedBurner (feedburner.google.com)
You received this message because you requested a subscription to the feed,
Anthem Opinions.
If you received this in error, please disregard. Do not reply directly to
this email.
------------------------------------------------------------
If this email is NOT COMPLETED, your subscription request is incomplete and CANNOT BE HONORED.
When we receive an initial request, if this SECOND EMAIL is NOT COMPLETED....our system notifies us 
that the requirement has not been completed.
We will send you a FOLLOW-UP EMAIL stating that we 
are unable to complete your request UNTIL IS REQUIREMENT IS 
COMPLETED.
If within 3 days there is no 
response, we will SEND YOU A SECOND REMINDER, 
telling you that unless this is completed by a SPECIFIC 
DATE, your REQUEST WILL BE 
TERMINATED.
The purpose of 
this 2nd email is to verify that it is really you making the request.  
Not to have this 2nd step would 
allow any person to subscribe another individual...and we will NOT ALLOW THAT TO 
HAPPEN.
There is yet 
another problem that may be encountered, namely receiving these verification 
emails.
They may be sent 
to a SPAM folder, and if the SPAM folder is not checked, you obviously 
will not have received the reminder.
How to avoid it 
being sent to SPAM ????
Simple...
Merely add the 
following email address to your address book.
By doing so, when you receive correspondence from Anthem Opinions, your computer will recognize the email 
address, and send it to your inbox along with other emails you normally 
receive.
We hope that this will clarify some 
of the problems individuals have incurred in completing their subscription 
requests; and if all else fails, we encourage you to send us an email at the 
above address with your name and phone number.
We will call you and walk you 
through the process.
Thank you for your 
patience.
