It's not really another mailing list (like olug)... it's one email a day
or so, a tip (an announce list).  It is not another discussion threaded
mailing list joining another entire group of people that puts another
dozen emails in your inbox.  IMHO, it's simply something to keep the
conversation going, and the list more or less alive and active...
sometimes it's a bit slow.  If we could get people to voluntarily submit
their own 'useful tip' every day, that would be asking a bit much, and as
previously stated... this invokes new comments and discussions.

Honestly, some of the latest tips haven't been so great, some are
though... you kinda take the good with the bad and move on.  Not every
email posted to the list is something I necessarily want to read either.

peace
