But if you have your own local mailing list, then you can talk about us
behind our backs. We talk about you guys all the time :-) You can setup your own list using a service like www.listbot.com, for
example, or roll
your own if you've got your own net.boxen (like all of us SV nerds).
We have a few of those too but we save them for serious stuff: Real time
snow flake counter available in streaming video, mosquito forecast for every
lake in Minnesota.
You see with all those interesting things goin on that leaves only one place
to post for our get-together, West Coast collector bashing reunions.
Would it be more proper to post something in the following form?

Yes I agree that the discussion about the details is probably noise for most
of you but it's the best way to reach all that would be interested. The
subject line is clear enough to decide wether you want to read the post or
not and at about 100 bytes a post it does not constitute a "waste of
bandwith".

That's the main reason I wanted to meet my fellow collectors of the MidWest
so we can talk about you guys
For the little bit of regional noise generated with posts like these I think
the list can afford it. It's benefits to collectors in general as more regions
get themselves together like the Boston and RI inititives are immense. I would
like to see a similiar thing develop in the Toronto area. What better place to
organise the isolated collectors in different regions. I seem to remember
several events that were California-specific being organized on the list.
C'mon give the great unwashed out in the diaspara a break. At least it's more
on-topic than much of the noise that's been generated lately by those who
should know better.
