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?
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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?

And, javachick, not ignoring your post from yesterday; I just don't know the answer.

You're right about the exclusion, but let me see if this particular software allows members to see everyone else's.

Kind of hate to think I'm making work for you, ita. Do people just want to drop this for now? If there's no real interest, that's cool; if someone else wants to handle it, that's possibly even cooler.

Our wings are not tired.
I like the idea of a list. I try to participate when I see it, but I miss some of the good deeds.
What she said. However this gets put together is a good plan.
