bah, humbug! then how is one to communicate with the attendees? the 
dinner stuff may be the only threads now but in the past there were

a bof or discuss some scandalous breaking of rules?

wow. and those who unsubscribe want to be at yapc with even more noise 
but less communication?

are yapc attendees really using facebook and twitter vs mail these days? 
proprietary locked in systems vs an open and free one? yow.
