Oh, I hate to write an email like this, but I just keep wishing that all the emails from this user group would just go away... And they don't. There's another one today. Bash on me if you want, but I just don't think this is appropriate fodder for an internationally-based coding list. How many of the thousands of coders on this list are in Sydney anyway? 3? 5? 10? For the rest of us, these notices are just trash bin material and a complete waste of bandwidth. I know it's only a small number of postings coming through here each month, but what if EVERY user group started posting their meeting notices here? How many user groups are there worldwide? Hundreds? THOUSANDS? We would quickly be overrun. And it's simply not fair to let one post and not another. Even Figleaf, who runs this list AND a number of user groups, doesn't post their meeting notices here.
I don't mind a new group starting up sending one or two announcement posts to the list - there are a lot of coders here and hopefully a new group can get an initial influx of members in this way. But the Sydney group is nearly a year old, so it seems to me that THIS LIST ought to be able to get back to coding issues, of which there are plenty, sometime soon. Again, I don't mean to offend anybody, and I really don't like writing emails like this. I just think this kind of content belongs elsewhere. And if it is somehow appropriate, just let me know and I'll shut up... Thanks for listening.
