And to chime in again - I think Microsound-announce
is a bad idea.
We're all fairly experienced computer users - surely
we have good
mail sorting/filtering in place? Again, liberal use
of the delete
key is fine..
No. I disagree -- it's a good idea!! Some people get
the digest (myself is one) and there is no possibility
of filtering in the way you describe. I am on about 7
or 8 lists not to mention cc stuff, etc. etc. Don't
have the time to go thru each and every email if it
were NOT a digest form - -which I can get to in one
shot (its one email) on a more or less daily basis.
Also, I think you are mistaken. This list,imho, is not
about community per se in the general, wide-ranging
sense of the word. It is about discussion and
development of ideas about microsound and things
closely related to discussion of ideas (rather then
technical matters sooo much). A sense of community
develops OUT of this discussion from the quality of
the thoughts, insights, interchange, humour, etc. etc.
(To my mind that kind of 'process' is the heart of
real "community" as it were)
Everyone may feel free to put myspace advertising
into his/her
signature, but sending a mail containing nothing else
but: "And my
myspace stuff is here:
myspace.com/sillynamethatwasnttaken" is
unacceptable IMO. It's not contributing to any
discussion,
Yes.
