Why, why, why, why, why did this take over 48 hours to get out onto announce after BJ posted it?
Mail server lag and the moderation queue. It's a month away. Nothing is on fire.
What if it had been an announcement for the next day? You'd have missed it.
Why is there no information anywhere obvious on the Alug website about announce?
With the change back from newsletters to simple announcements, some of the text has become out-of-date. You could have just pointed that out instead of flaming. I'll see to that and other web tasks Real Soon Now.
It wasn't a flame. It was a set of questions I was waiting to ask you during the Monday IRC meeting you didn't show up at for what seems like the first time ever, and was tired and pissed off with waiting.
Why can't there be certain people like Noodles and BJ whose posts don't need moderating? - that way announcements could get through promptly. It just seems odd to me that there's this list which you are very concerned people post their announcements to, but which is read by few and takes you a while to get round to sorting out.
