Since we're in a string announcement period leading up to a release, I was asked to post details of the changes to both gnome-i18n and gnome-doc-list. I'm not subscribed to those lists, and I don't need to be. If I *did* subscribe, I'd almost never look in those folders anyway. Am I being "extremely rude" when I do what I was asked to do, and post the notification there? I expect that if anyone has any questions or feedback to my post, they'll be sensible enough to keep me in Cc when they reply. And what if they don't -- if they reply only to the *one* list through which they happened to receive the copy of the message that they hit reply on? Well, in that case they're not just dropping *me* from the thread; they're also dropping the other mailing list too, and needlessly balkanising the discussion. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
