Too true! For a while I was running a mailing list that would attract the
occasional SCAdian, and they would blithely assume that everyone else was in
the SCA too. It made me grind my teeth, let me tell you.
But the point I was trying to make, was if the list is concerned about
recruiting/retaining new blood, and where everyone has wandered off to, is it
really worth having a 'warning' on the sign-up page that has apparently
outlived it's usefulness? A one-line "This list is not exclusive to members of
[insert organisations here], please do not assume that everyone is thinking
about the same time period and place, to prevent any confusion" is probably
nicer than an entire paragraph singling out one group. :)
