I do remember that. Someone or three commented that they were glad to
see the forwarded newsletter.

..but..

I have to vote with Andy. If every newsletter that touched on our
collective interests were embedded in our list, then the signal-to-noise
ratio would greatly suffer [needlessly].

Anyone specifically interested in any one newsletter can himself
subscribe, so there's no /need/ to duplicate the distribution.

If you believe there is some especially noteworthy news or commentary,
by all means post a note to that effect, with a link (as Andy suggests).

Calling attention to good content will also serve to remind those who
say they like the information where they can get it for themselves.
