@John: Sorry, I definitely was assuming personalization; I should have said so. I think personalization is quite a desirable feature in some contexts. All of my educational lists have personalized footers (subscribers min 5, max 20, mean 7 -- tiny, or "nano" if you prefer). I would guess lists with "naive" users are more likely to want to personalize. OTOH, XEmacs lists are ancient, they don't personalize. Emacs-devel (probably by Savannah policy) doesn't have them at all. python-dev and python-ideas *do* have personalized footers (maybe somebody here knows how many subscribers?) Sourceforge's weekly ping doesn't have a footer, the monthly news letter does. (Of course those SF lists aren't discussion lists, but it's indicative of expectations among developers -- we probably don't need them. It also shows that lists with many thousands of users sometimes use personalized footers, at least if they're low-traffic.) _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
