[backstage] WARN: backstage developer only list going down this weekend

2009-07-15 Thread Ian Forrester
This is the last call guys, the developer only list is going away at the end of 
the week.

--
Hi Everyone,

The developer only list (backstage-developer) was setup when there was massive 
amounts of traffic on the main list, however in recent months the traffic on 
the list has dropped and we are only seeing one or two posts on the developer 
only list.

So we're looking to shutdown the developer only list and bring some unity and 
balance back to the main list.

I understand this won't be supported by many of you, but we did give you the 
chance to feedback. So by the end of the week, we will shutdown the list and 
anyone attached to that list will be automatically unsubscribed.

Big thanks to everyone who subscribed to the developer only list, I really hope 
you do re-subscribe to the main mailing list, which is much quieter now.

It was considered to automatically move people across to the main list but it 
didn't seem fair. So if your interested in joining the main list again, just 
ping Major-domo a email on backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk with the subject 
subscribe.

Cheers,

Ian Forrester

How come when you make these announcements about closing the developer list
something contrary happens?
The last time it was a flurry of activity on the developer list.
This time it's a flurry of activity on the main list.
Most odd.
