I'll just chuck my 2p worth in here (not that anyone is asking for it...)
I know Lucie pretty well, and agree that her 'spamming' wasn't likely
intended as such. That said, I think Kenny has a valid point about
people not being aware of the correct way to use things like mailing
lists, mass emailings, and even the mysterious 'bcc' button. This of
course, has nothing to do with 'art'. ;)
Does anyone on the list see any value in a mini-workshop being given on
how to set-up and maintain personal mailing-lists and other such stuff
(RSS/Atom feeds for instance)? I'm hardly the most qualified member to
host such at thing, but if there's interest I'll give it a go.
BTW, There is an Electron Club announce list. This has usually been
used to announce events at the club. Any thoughts in also using it for
member to announce their personal stuff as well?
Let the games begin!
