Our glorious leader prefers only to announce socials and techmeets,
hence why I posted it to this list only.


I think there is scope for a london.pm social list
Not moderated and where you can post emergency socials, informal meets 
and so on.




Emails posted to the -announce list also go to other non-Perl announce
lists. We shouldn't spam them too often.


Indeed. The main issue I am aware is that announce - gllug-social list 
where it raises hackles from anti perl brigade.

We're a social lot and always have been. AFAIC, the main list, plus 
announce is where these types of announcements belong.

Why would a social group not want to be informed of relevant, and 
usually very pleasant pubmeets?


If they don't think it's relevant ot their interests, they can always unsub.
