G'day Tetsuya,
I'm with Noel here. The newsletter is great,
it's just that people who subscribe to announce@
expect to get short e-mails telling them how to
find things. They don't expect large e-mails with
major content.
So don't stop the overall newsletter - your
efforts are valued :>. I don't believe you will
cause a balkanization of the e-mail culture, but
I *do* believe it will take some trial and error
to get the dissemination process to a point where
most people are comfortable. Don't get
dis-heartened, take all the feedback as positive
and adapt!
Cheers,
Berin
