I apologize if I sound combative in this post.

Can I add my blog to automatically dump links to the list too for every post I make?

I don't mind reading what you have to say, Adriel, and am not asking you to go away or something.* But I am quite 
capable of subscribing to your blog just fine in my RSS reader if I want to read evey post. I don't need every single 
post you make automatically sent to the list as a link or a full posting. To me, that seems to not be the spirit of a 
moderated mailing list.

I don't mind the occasional linkage or discussion-starting post. I do mind when the mailing list is basically co-opted 
by someone else to either splinter discussion or gain attention/hits.

I'm not the moderator, and I really am not all that knowledgable on the list rules, but I do know when I feel 
ill-at-ease about participation.


* Your poll on the site has three options that insinuate, to me: 1) go away, 2) post everything on your blog to the 
list as a link, 3) post everything on your blog to the list as a full post. I don't agree with any of those options...


<- snip ->
For the record, I did add the email address of this list to my blogger  
so that entries are automatically posted to this list. If anyone is  
against me doing that, or if that is a violation of the list policy  
then please let me know and I'll stick with this method of letting  
people know.  (I'm not sure if it worked hence why I'm writing this  
email).
