Yeah, I mean, I don't even know whether the couple of keepers idea is the way people would want to go. Or whether it would be, "Hey, can you forward me the list?" That would be up for discussion for sure.
If keepers, then, yes -- I would imagine, send an e-mail to one of the maintainers, saying something like, "We're doing a thing for Sally, can you send out an e-mail using this text?" Then take Sally off the list, and send it out.
And, to be kind to our eyes, send stuff out bcc:, but that may just be a personal preference. Of mine.
ETA: And, you know, just to be kind, add a DON'T FORGET TO TAKE SALLY OFF THE LIST. OK?? OK!!!
Good idea! I missed the Maria op but would have contributed had I known.
Yes, agreeing with Stephanie, I would have as well.
Same here. I like the idea!
Yeah, I think we've all probably missed one thing or another through the sheer pieciness of back channel, and how, at least in my experience, we're all using lj less these days. Or dw.
I applaud and bow to anyone who takes on organizing one of these things, because I know how hugely challenging it is to get to everyone, even with reposts, etc.
That sounds like a good idea. I have missed a couple as well.
I like the idea of an email list. People can select to be on it (or not), and it would be easy to filter out specific names if need be.
we're all using lj less these days. Or dw.
And some of us are actively avoiding using Facebook.
Yeah, I've deleted my lj, er, twice now.
I think it's a great idea. It would definitely need to be bcc all the time in order not to be spreading email addresses unintentionally.
And in other news, I'm the one who organized the maria effort, I knew I wasn't hitting everyone who would want to help, but didn't know how to, and (don't look, maria!) it's still ongoing! So if anyone still wants in on that, feel free to ping me at profile addy, or lj (fatoudust) or facebook (lisa kprinkle). Paypal to lisa@hopeintransit.org.

But that would mean there could be no conversations.
