Well the point is just that some people don't want to have to subscribe to 300+ emails a month just to find out whether the meeting's been canceled. (And don't say "they can just do digest mode" because as I've already pointed out, the digest would arrive too late for meeting cancellation notices.) You could just post cancellations on the site, but I think the e-mail method is preferable for that sort of thing because you don't have to remember to visit the site or check RSS. It's more of an alert. That said, I'd support the use of topics if having a separate list is a real burden. I'm not sure how well topics would work or if people would actually remember to mark emails for a given topic though. -- Jennifer Charrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
