Hi Julian, Thank you very much for being a part of the HOT community!
HOT is doing mapping every day of the week and while there are times of severe crisis after a disaster when our mapping is focused and dramatically increased, the daily mapping for humanitarian projects is very important as well. And the HOT email list is the only place we as a community can ask questions and discuss different aspects of how we do things or address issues that affect everyone in the HOT community. Even if sometimes it might get into the weeds. Your email is a good reminder that emails to the HOT list go to a lot of folks, and it is good make sure the emails are relevant to HOT and take a few minutes and see if there is a better, more focused place for some questions or comments. But, if you are ever in doubt but are not sure where to ask, you can always ask on the HOT email list, we are here to support each other and usually if you have a question, so do others. For too many HOT Email list emails, there are a couple of options: 1. Subscribe to HOT's announce only email list. This is where we send our monthly HOT Newsletter and disaster mapping notifications. You will know when there is a disaster crisis mapping event and be able to keep up on HOT happenings via our Newsletter. This might be the best option if you only want to be notified of disaster activities. You can sign up for it here http://eepurl.com/bC7JBj 2. Digest mode, you can change your preferences to only get an email once a day with a list of the emails for day in it. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot (Go to the bottom, enter your email address, button "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" Thank you again!
