I for one have never been a fan of mailing lists, at least the way they are mostly used today. People use them like a forum, assuming everybody wants to know everybody's problems. Mailing lists in my opinion should be used for announcements and notifications only. All the other chatter should go on a forum where users can subscribe and unsubscribe to threads that they find important. That being said, I've only been on this mailing list for 24 hours so far and I'm already doing what you said, deleting the mail without even looking at it (although I did read this message). My guess would be that in another 24-48 hours I'll probably turn off email delivery's entirely, that’s usually what happens. Maybe this ML needs to be split into mirror-announcements and mirror-users so that some of us that only care about the important things can subscribe to announcements and leave the users chatter to those who want to receive it. Still my opinion is that chatter belongs in a forum. -- Shaun Reitan Network Data Center Host, Inc. www.ndchost.com -----Original Message----- From: Valeri Galtsev Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2013 11:17 AM To: Mailing list for CentOS mirrors. Subject: Re: [CentOS-mirror] New Mirror comes Hi Everybody, One thing I've noticed: during past 3 Month or so I just throw away everything coming through centos-mirror at centos.org mail list without reading. I do remember someone on this list made a suggestion in the past: to do all new mirror registration routine outside of the list, and make the list dedicated to maybe rare but important things that mirror maintainers should be aware of. Such as: any changes in master hosts. Any movements of content away from main scope (example: centos vault). Someone can continue the list. This way we (public mirror admins) will be able to indeed stay on top of our duties and serve the community better. Just a thought. Thanks.
