Well you could rule that they both show up at same place of course, but don’t
know of a way to send to both automatically at same time. Just CC them. Yes
there was a new person join at missives, but that happens fairly often over
there, yet little talk happens. Any audio posted via frilliest though I are
over there too so that they aren’t out of the loop.
It’s a little weird and awkward with two lists of the same purpose on two
different list serves. I just wish Yahoo hadn’t have done what they did, but
they did and now here we are with two groups. One that’s a little off with so
many people’s e-mail providers, yet easy for people to find and join up, then
the other which has fewer e-mail problems but until recently was pretty slow
about picking up new people. Well am glad some folks do go through the lists
at frilliest, there are a ton of them that’s for sure.
