[MR] Two email lists for our kingdom

[Helen Rogers]

I LOVE this idea. In fact, I was under the impression, when I first joined, that this is what THIS list was for. Still considering myself a newcomer, I know I get extremely disheartened and discouraged reading many of the posts on this list (for the most part, they are exceedingly negative). And, it isn't as simple as "deleting", because the digests contains so many messages. Not to mention, trying to reading them on my "smart phone" is cumbersome because they aren't truncated and often run on and on and on and ... but I digress :).

 I would ike to request, though (and the point may have already been made, so please forgive me), that this other list contain the usual Kingdom announcements, but also the "yard sale" type announcements as well, for lack of better terminology. That is one of the reasons I originally joined the MR, looking for a "period" tent (though that is but a mere dream because the prices requested FAR exceed my budget ... if I'd only know - lol).

 Many thanks for this wonderful suggestion!

 YIS,

Message-ID: <01da01cc4c11$93f34350$bbd9c9f0$@rr.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Could our kingdom have two email lists? One list would be for announcements, pure and simple. No discussions. No pontificating. Just announcements. Failure to follow list guidelines would be cause for immediate purge of the offending messages and banning of those who sent them (originals and replies). The other would be for whatever else people want to spend their time writing about online. I would very much like to subscribe ONLY to the first list. I won't be reading this list to see if there are any replies because of the immense amount of message traffic on it lately, but I live in hope that I'll see an announcement in the newsletter about the new list.
