I think this is a great idea.
I also don't like to tell people not to discuss stuff on this list,
but honestly most of the OT/political/etc discussions go right in my
trash. It sometimes takes a while to wade through the stuff I'm not
interested in to read the technical stuff I am interested in. I
sometimes find myself deleting swaths of 50+ unread PLUG messages
simply because I don't have time to read them all.
What do you all think about copying the current PLUG-discuss member
list to the new list? Those who don't want to be on it could then
unsubscribe. That way, if you do nothing, you'll get essentially the
same email you did previously. For people who want only 1 or the
other, they can take the action of unsubscribing.
Just an idea. I normally don't think it's a good idea to subscribe
people in bulk, but it might be appropriate in this case.
