I don't understand the need for an announcement. Some people won't get anything out of a list, so they shouldn't be on that list. There are a lot of lists that I'm not on, probably thousands of them. If I find that I'm on a list that doesn't help me, then I leave it. Do I post an announcement before leaving? Should I? Would anyone care that I was leaving? I've had a bunch of useful discussions on this list in the past few months. Mostly stuff about bash and text util techniques. It's good for me, but if someone else already knows all of that, or doesn't want to know about it, all of those discussions would have been a waste of time. If someone posts something you don't like, can't you just delete it? Another thing I've been getting from this list is announcements about the Penguins Unbound meetings. I like those. Mike
