i am glad the list got some volume finally. i think i saw
a mention that yapc registrants are not automatically
added to this list. </blockquote>

<div>Attendees are no longer automatically added to this
list. That was a decision made based on the overwhelming
preference of past attendees. There is an
announcement-only list that people are still added to, but
it is intended for very infrequent usage, involving
critical announcements that really do need to go to
everybody attending. (And before you ask, no, the arrival
dinner arrangements don't, IMO, qualify as "critical".)</div>

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
plenty of yapc related discussions. how would you publicize an event
or a bof or discuss some scandalous breaking of rules? <br>

notifications, I can tell you the frequency of the latter
are directly correlated with the posting volume on the
list. Seeing quite a few of them in the past couple
days...)</div>

<br>
wow. and those who unsubscribe want to be at yapc with even more
noise but less communication?<br>
<br>
are yapc attendees really using facebook and twitter vs mail these
days? proprietary locked in systems vs an open and free one? yow.<br>
