From: Pine W Sent: Friday, October 26, 2018 1:31 PM To: Wikimedia Mailing List Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] REMINDER: Invitation to the October 2018 Wikimedia Monthly Activities Meeting: Thursday, October 25th, 18:00 UTC Hi Fae,
I would like to mention that WikimediaAnnounce-l is supposed to forward to Wikimedia-l (although there have often been technical problems with this and I believe that these problems are ongoing), so under the present system it may not be possible for Wikimedia-l subscribers to escape from announcements that are sent to WikimediaAnnounce-l unless someone creates a custom filter in their email service. Your suggestion that people who want reminders should subscribe to WikimediaAnnounce-l is okay, but that probably would not save subscribers to Wikimedia-l from receiving reminders unless all reminders are sent to WikimediaAnnounce-l and those reminders are not forwarded to Wikimedia-l. I would not support stopping WikimediaAnnounce-l emails from being forwarded to Wikimedia-l.
I would also like to suggest that your tone on this topic could be more diplomatic, and that you should refrain from making assertions about how almost all readers of this list feel in the absence of some evidence that would support such an assertion.
Of the things to be upset about, I understand how this one could be irritating, but there doesn't seem to be consensus that there is a problem, and I don't think that it's worth losing one's temper over this subject.
I am near to the monthly limit of 15 emails to Wikimedia-l, and I want to conserve my remaining few emails for other subjects, so this will be my only post in this thread for this month. If you want to talk more, you can contact me off-list.

For me it is perfect. I get the impulse to
get in and I know if I am
busy with other things. Reminder of
something in the future get lost
otherwise.

Saw this message today. Almost all
readers of this list will find a
broadcasted 30 minutes
reminder equally useless.
Please revisit
this part of the WMF comms plan.
Thanks
