You are doing the same mistake over and over again. All sort of discussions
should be in the discussions list. If some annoying discussion is taking too
long, it can move to another mailing list. Whatsoever, NO body is really
interested in all kind of "procedural discussions", so you actually get two
kinds of audience - those who are forced to be registered to the meta list,
and those that are not registered and miss important issues. The assembly (
2.5 weeks from now!) is one of them.
That's exactly why the assembly ANNOUNEMENT was sent to the discussions
list and to all members via the assembly list (an announcement will also be
sent via snail mail). However, discussion around the assembly doesn't
interest most of the people, especially those who can't vote in the assembly
anyway. There is no reason to force the discussions on everybody.
Please do not post mails related to the general assembly to the
discussions list, as most of the subscribers are not interested in this
issue.
An assembly interests everybody. It's not just another issue to discuss
about. The average person will not be interested to hear meta stuff, but
will be interested to hear about the next assembly. An assembly and ideas
for a planned assembly is not a meta discussion. In addition to that, there
are many discussions which we do not interest the rest of the members: you
will not open a mailing list for each subject, and one has enough skills to
ignore a specific topic. Let everybody know about the assembly and let
everybody to discuss it. This is not a meta subject.
You are not everybody. Did you take a survey of all the people (including
78% of the friends who are not members) to see if they are interested? Fact
shows that almost all of the people are not interested in these issues. Only
25 addresses are subscribed to the meta list, even though it was announced
several times as the forum for these discussions. The announcement of the
assembly and the subscription information was sent to the discussions list.
Those who want to participate in the discussion are only one click away
from subscribing to meta.
