Nobody is going to say you shouldn't be on the list. If people are getting overwelmed by emails of no intrest speak up. If so it may make sense to have an announce only list. Will then require sending announcements to both lists since not everybody will sign up for the announce list so one list makes it simpler.
Egad, my apologies. I tried to address this concern in my "should deviate from Mid-Atlantic" clause. I am specifically not asking the group change how they use the list, and I am not overwhelmed at the topics and email volume in the list (well, I sometimes am, but I can easily solve that on my end). My point was more of "should folks like myself be on the list at all, since we are not local"? I asked because one of the most recent list emails was about "the same 7 people come to events, few help out..." and I think there was an implication that the list members should be take a more active role in the org. I'd love to assist, and I do for other VCF-like orgs closer to home, but I can't help be a docent or set up for the swap meet, and neither can the others on the list who are far flung. That was my intent. Jim
