I don't like/need/want to get messages of frequently occuring, consistent events - ie., Tuesday or Thursday time trials. There's nothing new in these repeated messages, so it doesn't make sense to send an email about these sorts of events.
I do like to get messages of infrequently occurring events (eg., Good Friday Time Trial, club socials, AGM). Also, Rosmarie used to always send out messages on the Sunday Tour routes, so I'd guess that lots of people want emails with this kind of information, too.(?) Yahoo calendars are very flexible - they allow you to make email-notification decisions on an event by event basis. You decide what it makes sense to send out notifications on, how far in advance you want to send a notification (or two), you configure the calendar in accordance with these decisions, and then you can trust it to do the job. I personally don't care if messages are manually or automatically generated - Those responsible for disseminating the information should choose the method which they find the easiest to handle - but certainly I would like people to know that yahoogroups calendars can certainly be configured to automatically notify us of only those events which Rosmarie would otherwise want to manually send us an email about! (ie., no increase in email). Technology is a wonderful thing if it's used intelligently! Celia R Sohn wrote: > Agreed. Is there a way to opt out of these "reminders"?
