I noted that someone sent an unsubscribe to the list, and I wonder if it is because of the excess email traffic that could be sent between individuals, not to the list. I refer to the notes about who needs a ride or has a ride or can offer a ride to the event posted. I went to the mailman site to unsubscribe as well. However, I had the opportunity to send my concern to you, the list owner, and decided to try it first.     If the group likes to use the list for this type of email, that’s perfectly fair! In that case I will unsubscribe, and just catch up on occasion through the website. Otherwise, I wonder if you might send a note to ask that people keep emails between individuals just between them, and not to the list?    I appreciate your hearing my concern! I will respect whatever is your response. Best regards, Andrea Chappell (Please note: I am replying as an individual, not in any way representing the University of Waterloo. I signed up for GREN many years ago, while taking an Environmental Studies course, which is the reason I used my UW address. I should switch it if I decide to stay on the list!)
