I'm sure someone else has said the same by now, but this is my 3rd 
YAPC::NA, and also the first time I ever heard of this mailing list 
(although not because of the blog posts, someone mentioned a discusson 
happening on here in another channel).  I was auto-subscribed for the 
2010 or 2011 conferences, although I wouldn't have objected if I had been.
