Hi List, Sorry for the my email adding to the flood. I am getting 2 copies as well.

Some time in the past, everyone on the cf-metadata list also got copies of the discussions in the Trac system. But the Trac system's mailing list hadn't been updated for some years. So today I updated it. Everyone on this mailing list will get messages from the CF Metadata Trac system. There are rather few such messages, so you may not notice the difference. If you really don't want to see the Trac messages, but you want to stay on the regular cf-metadata mailing list, you can opt out of only the Trac messages. There is a special mailing list which acts as an intermediary between the Trac system and cf-metad...@ugd.ucar.edu. You can just unsubscribe to the special mailing list as follows: Send mail to majord...@lists.llnl.gov, from the address at which you receive the mail. The body of your message should be the line "unsubscribe cf-metadata". This will unsubscribe you only from the special intermediary list, not the regular CF Metadata mailing list at ucar.edu.

I do want to see Trac messages, but since this update happened I'm getting two or three copies of each one. Is anyone else having this problem? What do I need to do to get only one copy?

Re: [CF-metadata] [CF Metadata] #89: standard names for vector components
I am cross posting with regard to ticket #89 (https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/89) This comment: https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/89#comment:4 presents a choice, which I encourage interested parties to state their view on, either on the ticket or by e-mail to myself and Jonathan. > Replying to jonathan: > > Dear Mark > > > > It could be argued that this relaxation does involve a change to the > > interpretation of existing data, because where archived data says "x" it > > might currently be assumed that this means it is definitely not "eastward". > > Once this change was made, you could not assume that any more. > > You are correct, this reinterpretation is a consequence of the proposal. > > > I think we may be trying to be too subtle with the interpretation.
