This list is too busy to have additional traffic of a class going on.
It would work better having just email from the students and teacher.
After one class is done so many weeks after the last class remove all names
so another class can be put up.
The way they do this at the Crafters University there is a password to get
into a class that only the people who sign up gets that password and then
the password is changed for the next class.
There would need to be a way to find out how this is done.
I will look into this.

I know I'm a newbie and don't know much about how things are done here,
but
if I may be so bold to ask "why" classes via email cannot be done here? Is
this a written rule, if so for what purpose?
