Glad to know Ken has a tail!

I, in addition to others, view this has rather abrupt, and honestly unnecessary.

I'll hang around for a few more to see what happens.

Take care,

Yes, our plan is to move all users over and I will be giving much time for the transition. Don't worry, we will take this slow.

Sounds like it could get complicated.

Some suggestions:

I hope this will happen without requiring folks to unsubscribe/subscribe between lists, as that is an excellent way of A. losing members, and B. simply frustrating folks who have mail rules setup, only check the lists periodically, etc. etc.

I would also recommend a minimum of one month's time before this move is made at all, so as to allow folks who are on digest to have a fair opportunity to get this news.

I'd post this news on the webpage of the list as well, and go ahead and start redirecting new subscribers to the program list so that you can have an effective cut off point.

Take care,

Sina

Hello Everyone,

A great suggestion was made by Jamal Mazrui and after consultation with George Bell and others we will be moving the ProgrammingBlind list into Program-L, thus only having one programming list for the blind.

This will take place in the next couple of weeks and I will keep everyone up-to-date on what steps will be taking place after consulting with FreeLists management.

If you have any questions please let me know.

A very sincere thanks goes out to Jamal and George Bell, you guys are the best!

Jeff Bishop
