I have heard many stories of people who leave the sca-east list or never want to join because of flame wars or rudeness or personality clashes. I find this really sad. I created the list all those years ago to be a way to connect people in the kingdom, to help share information relating to our hobby, to be a useful and interesting place to be. Sometimes the list does those things in a positive way and sometimes in a negative way. I propose to you: what can be done to make this list a more positive place to be, a more welcoming place, a place with less conflict and less clashing?

I see several suggestions for an Announce-only list.

Excerpted from the email I got when I recently rejoined the EK list:

Welcome to the sca-east@mail.indra.com mailing list! In addition, the
mailing list SCA-EAST-ANNOUNCE is for announcements relevant to the
East Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism.


So, according to this, there already is one. True or false, I don't know.

I decided to give it a second chance, and keep my mouth shut more this time. It does tempt my Dark Side, or did last time. If it doesn't work for me this time, well...I tried.
