Hi, I don't mean to come over as unsupportive Josh, because I'm 110% behind what you do with lioncourt and maccessibility, to the point where soon after Christmas when my schedule will have changed significantly I'd love to start contributing myself or at least figure out some way of supporting more actively.
Having said all that, that wasn't the reply I expected James and Ben would get man. The kind chap who offers me very competitive deals on Viagra usually slightly less than once per day isn't of dissimilar mind when it comes to the actual principal here. It doesn't say anywhere to my knowledge that this list doubles up as a kind of newswire, so perhaps this would be a good point to have one of Cara's polls... she loves 'em! If it turns out that myself James and Ben are grouchy old men so be it, but if not then perhaps you could tweak the automation to deliver automatic posts to the most relevant list? My personal gripe here is that even when I don't pass over one of these automated posts, I only get a snippet of the story. As long as the subject lines are well thought out, which so far they always have been, I'll know whether I want to read a news story or not - having to load the extra page seems superfluous. Again, no treading on toes intended, I just think they have a point where the principal is concerned here and wanted to add a bit of weight.
