I can see Ryan's point here. In my case I'm currently subscribed to the kohalabs-based email list, but I've subscribed to the new list using a different email account. So if it's automatic, I'll be getting the same email at two different accounts.
As for things changing: well, things definitley have changed. I'm not sure it's good or bad (I'm sure there are elements of both as is always the case with change ). It just is. Change is inevitable. Us 'oldtimers' always wanted Ruby to be more popular, right? Now that that seems to be happening, I'm going to try not to complain too much. I would like to commend everyone who worked on getting the website back up and the new mailing list up so quickly. I had no idea we were the only reason for Pat keep the kohalabs site and domain up. This is my last post to the kohalabs list, from now on I'll be posting to the new list. (Pat: if you're out there, thanks for all your help and I suspect you can shut down kohalabs within the week if you need to) Phil On Sun, 11 Sep 2005, Ryan Davis wrote: > > On Sep 11, 2005, at 12:27 AM, Lennon Day-Reynolds wrote: > > > I agree with Robby -- if the list is moving as a whole, we should > > migrate subscribers over to the new system by default.
