Although I had already voted, I was not bothered by one tiny email reminding me that I was eligible to vote. Thanks guys, hopefully this will get people to the polls.

Please don't send > untargetted mass emails - they are spam. "telling me I am eligible" and "untargetted mass e-mails" don't really make sense together, do they? Also, although you're only getting one e-mail once per year (will be every two years), you're free to opt-out (there are instructions in the e-mail you received). /me wonders why you wouldn't just hit reply to the e-mail and send this message to people who actually can do something about it, rather than foundation-l.

It seems this was an error this time around and they'll probably remember to leave those ones out next time. (Hopefully we'll have people writing up a "how-to" page for future years.) -- Casey Brown (who is not an election committee member, hence the third person) Cbrown1023 _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
