<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>> </span>Also I overlooked that many Internet old timers
would prefer to maintain the ability to subscribe by email (unsubscribing by
email had not been affected). That change has since been reversed.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I feel somewhat elevated in status... from a lurker to an
Internet Old Timer - might be worth mentioning my children also tend to sub to
lists via list-serv commands, although this is possibly my influence on them <span
style='font-family:Wingdings'>J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As with others I agree up to a point with the underlying
premise of simplifying list and web subscriptions providing it doesn’t
come at the expense of access and/or simplicity (to either) – the point
raised by Norbet is salient not only for Cambodia, it also applies to the
millions who interact online with PDA’s and mobiles where email is a much
simpler medium to use than trying to access a web site on a 2” screen.
Unfortunately the promoted/implemented changes do read like a fait accompli
given the depths of concern expressed by a number of people.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Pardon my ignorance - but I do not understand who authorised
these changes – isn’t the decision-making process of this group one
of lazy consensus ala the FOSS/Apache model where changes are discussed prior
to implementation? Are all the changes now reversed? It would be great if we
could rewind and discuss the need and options – I’m sure there is
an abundance of list management expertise on here.<o:p></o:p></p>
