Cheri, The reason I didn't originally set up any filters is because the only e-mails coming in to the list were announcements about OLF, about Elections, about Jams, about other State-wide related things... They were questions from members about various different things that they needed help with. I never had to in the past, because the only stuff put up on this list were globally relative to every member of the LoCo.
Josh, 1) I did send out messages regularly, but I stepped down as ReLoCo lead well over a year ago. I will take it upon myself to send reminders in the future about the Google Group. 2) Those kind of questions are fine for the list and IRC (and you're correct--I haven't been on IRC for quite some time now) 3) You don't need to walk blocks. The parking garage is literally right across the street from Panera. There are always more than enough spots at 6pm on a Wednesday. Anywho... Apparently I'm the only one that feels this way, so I'm just gonna shut up and filter the messages.
