Well, the other reason which I didn't publicize is the fact that several people have griped or complained that they get the UTOS emails too many times (mostly because they are subscribed to more than one list). In my opinion, that's not really my problem, but I don't want others to be offended by getting mailing from UTOS. However, you do make a good point. If I can convince the president/leader of the group, then it's on them, not me :) I'll look into that option.
