The intent was for it to be a announcement vehicle but this was neglected for 2
reasons:
- There's a problem with automatic subscription to the list when you sign up as
an org member that I haven't ferreted out yet.
- 99% of the active org membership also reads LUGNET
There is a 3rd reason:
- We're not as organized or as large as some online orgs. In other words,
despite the fact that 137 users are in the OrgMember group, we have about 10-15
that actively participate in day-to-day discussion here on LUGNET. This means
that mailing lists of this type tend to not be used since most of us are also on
LDraw.org's other internal mailing lists.
