Re: Mailing list name question



I like the idea of having the list a point to list b, since that will
ensure that no email gets lost.  I'd be happy to do the requisite
updating, but I'm not sure how to do so, since I don't have access to
make changes.  I also like the idea of having officer emails be
generic, since that would make updating the website a lot easier
(having just typed in a whole lot of ascii code so spammers couldn't
pick up the email addresses, I'm not looking forward to doing it again
when the officers change, and this would be an easy solution to that
problem)

Not much, as far as I know. I think I made it at some point, basically
for the reason you're pointing out, that guild-of-bellringers-contact
is unweildy, but didn't really do much with it. Apparently I was on a
mailing list making spree, because I also made bellringers-contact,
bellringers-president, and bellringers-treasurer, all of which got
pretty much just as little use, as far as I know (and are now horribly
out of date).

That might be clever. In any case, it would probably be good to point
one mailing list at the other, so that all mail is guaranteed to go to
the right people (say put bellringers on guild-of-bellringers-contact,
and change the official list to bellringers).

See ya,
Oliver
