Personally, the UK meeting posts didn't bother me in the least. Made me want to get on a plane in fact. But the objection was raised because they were sent outside of the PDML and landed in everyone's personal e-mail boxes. In other words, they weren't sent to the list. They were sent to most of the personal accounts that make up the list. No big deal, but it's probably better to confine meeting notices to the list.

Why pick on just the UK folk?  After all, there are at least as many
messages about a NorCal meet as there are about UK meets.  And unless
we stamp it out now, there'll be a whole new thread about a Boston meet.

The choice to copy the most recent message thread to the list was mine, and it was a deliberate decision. I consider discussions of a PDML meet
to be appropriate material for the PDML, and in any case with only a
little more than a week to go there wasn't really a lot of time to conduct preliminary discussions off-list before sending a final notification to
the list in case anybody else wanted to join us.
