I really dislike email mailing lists. Specifically, I dislike syncing them up with the main SDQuarterly server, worrying about whether the server is having email trouble, and of course, wondering whether we’re sending out too many (or too few) emails.

There may be other things I don’t like, but those are the top three!

Some people have updated their email addresses on the main site, but of course, those changes don’t automatically propagate to the email list software like they should. Conversely, some people have updated their email addresses on the email list software, but those changes don’t propagate, either. Sigh.

Anyway, the plan was to send out an email on Tuesday or so, explain that the print editions are now available. Then there’s another email scheduled for next week with information on how we’re going to handle subscription renewals, since we’ve delivered the four issues we committed to in the beginning and are having to make some tough choices going forward. Now, though, it looks like it will be one email between the two, and probably still with some out-of-date emails on the list.

Sorry.
