I don't know how difficult the logistics if implementing this would be, and more streamlined tech solutions are probably available (e.g. RSS feed), but a possible solution might be a digest email of all the various state lists rolled into one, available as an additional service for subscribers to any of those lists. I currently subscribe to the state-wide list and receive a single digest email (shortly after 12am every night). For someone like myself, who can't go off at the drop of a hat to chase rarities, this delivery option (as opposed to piecemeal emails) makes it easier to quickly scan for what's interesting, ignore what's not, and then delete. A multi-list digest would also be easier than what I currently have to resort to for news from elsewhere in the state—monitoring the other 6 state lists on the ABA's online archives.
