Subject: Mailing list changes
Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2002 13:29:00 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <012d01c28430$0bc769f0$6401a8c0@rabbit> (raw)

With regards to the new mailing list system, is there a reason this change
could not have been announced BEFORE the change was made?  I understand the
need and desire for a quick change, and in that regards it appears that
things went well.

However, I was rather surprised to find my mailboxes filling up with gentoo
mailing list mail (which I had on hold) this morning.  Had I been on
vacation (as I was until recently) my mailbox would have quickly filled up
and been unable to receive to new mail (as I do not have a large email
quota).

In the future, PLEASE let subscribers know when this is going to happen so
they can take appropriate measures.  I think it was very irresponsible of
the Gentoo team to do this in the manner in which they did.

Sincerely,
Jackson Fox
