Well, in my case they DID ask first. And since it is genealogy-related, I did forward the announcement to the list in question. Side note: there sure does seem to be a lot of paranoia on this list lately -- new subscribers, new lists . . . What's next? Will we be assuming new admins join up for some nefarious purpose? Just askin' . . .

If we don't ask, we can't find answers. If we don't have answers, we might make the wrong decisions about things. You may call it paranoia but I call it attempting to do the best job I can as an admin. If I make uninformed decisions I cannot be sure I am making the right ones. You may have all the answers but I sometimes need to ask. Call it being human. Just replyin' . . .

See what I mean? I never said I have all the answers. I just said there's a lot of suspicion lately about perfectly ordinary things. If she had subscribed to our lists and just posted the announcement without asking, there would have been complaints. But she does the proper thing, and asks first, and that's not welcomed, either. Darned if you do, and darned if you don't. On 3/10/2012 9:14 AM, Jim Jackson wrote: > If we don't ask, we can't find answers.
