I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I would think a master list would mainly be good for an initial invitation to join a discussion/mailing list for whatever the project at hand is.
I like this.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Ha, ha, ha! You distilled it all down to one sentence. I am way too rambly.
Brevity is my gift.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I like the idea of a list. I try to participate when I see it, but I miss some of the good deeds.

So, how to proceed? Is this something where I can just put a notice in Press? I feel like choosing to opt-in or not kind of is the vote. Would love to keep it simple, but don't want to make assumptions.
Thoughts?

How will this relate to the current e-mail lists?

Not at all, I'd say. I don't see a connection between this and regional lists.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Now, can this be achieved by having a buffistas mailing list? That people can join and unjoin themselves at will, without anyone having to be involved maintaining it?

I think the part that can't be done by a mailing list is excluding the potential giftee? Or would there be a way to do that on the computer?

That would be fine by me -- how does it work? Anyone who is on the list can generate an e-mail? I'm on the DC list, but I've never generated an e-mail, and I don't know how to other than going back to the last one sent, and that wouldn't necessarily honor recent updates. Is it easy?
Other people have thoughts about that?
I just would want it to operate like aurelia's distilled suggestion:
I would think a master list would mainly be good for an initial invitation to join a discussion/mailing list for whatever the project at hand is.
That is to say, if we have three projects going on, and I'm only able to do one of them, I'd like to not get e-mails on all of them after the initial one. Does that make sense to people?
