I don't post a lot on your lists Michael, but I should paste in what I commented on Sean's blog for those of you who won't click over there to check it out.
--paste-- This all sounds like some sort of Judas-like betrayal, honestly. Considering how much those lists are used & how much value they hold & how much time Michael spends working on them, I'm just rather surprised. As far as "getting aid," if you're on the community list, just think about the computer donation fiasco. Far as I know, that still hasn't come together, and it must have been months ago that people "volunteered" to help out. I don't care if it's plain-text or html. I know the HOF site's unsubscribe/options pages are difficult. It's your choice to unsubscribe, and personally I think everyone else on the lists is BETTER OFF now. Jeesh. Posted by Josh Remus at September 25, 2003 11:45 AM --paste-- I'm sorry everyone's giving you trouble over all this. I (like most others) will stay through the process without complaint. My two cents in two places...
