I STILL think it might have been nice for *someone* to let the current
subscribers know that the rules changed.  IMO it's pretty bad that we have
to find out about it this way.  (it's obvious only certain people were let
in on this policy change, while the rest of the list was left in the dark
about it)  Just how long have these new rules been in place, anyway?

Jeanne, *no one* knew except me.

Was anybody going to ANNOUNCE the changes to the list?  Or were we supposed
to find out after the fact when the FAQ update got posted.  (oh, excuse me,
we *did* find out after the fact after the rules got changed)

You guys do know that most people don't read the FAQ of a list that they are
already subbed to unless there's some question to be resolved, don't you?

It would not have affected current subbers.
