I am not some moron that signed on to this list to cause problems. Nor
am I suggesting me or anyone else sending massive amounts of messages to
massive amounts of mailing lists. Because as you say (and as I well
know, being involved with lists from one particular company) many of
these lists are "closed" as you say.
What I am suggesting is that the appropriate people on this list that
are involved with these other lists, drop subtle hints as to the good
things that are trying to be performed with this idea on these lists to
stir up interest in it. If SJG is already discussing it then that is a
step in the right direction. And someone who is involved with them (as
I get the impression you may be), then knows that they are already aware
of it and are considering it. But the people that are involved in the
systems that are not considering it or are ignoring it so far, are the
ones where it should be addressed (by the people that are on this list
and are also involved in the appropriate list for that company).
So I am not suggesting what you and a few others are suggesting. I am
not suggesting to "spam" mailing lists. I am suggesting bringing the
subject up as it relates to what is going on within that mailing list.
The lists that I take part in do on occasion discuss the "thin pickings"
of the RPG industry, and the state of the company that is producing the
system that the mailing list is about. There for it is related to the
mailing list, and thus is not "spam".
I was making suggestions. If the people that are involved with those
lists do not want to get involved and try to improve the system or the
industry, then why are they on this list, trying to promote a possible
advancement in the RPG industry?
