[TriLUG] mailing list ergonomics

[Jim Ray]

Yes, footer breaks my heart. Let's analyze this situation: you want to find sponsors for meetings from the business community and let folks post this kind of spam? Really, now, don't folks have better things to do with time? Another business owner in town does not hire folks that are members of TriLUG. I have. However, I understand that person's sentiment from behavior tolerated by the steering committee:

This may have performance implications that force me to roll the
change back, but I've added 'personalization' to our config such that
the footer is now very explicit about what you have to do to
unsubscribe.

For the record, the ergonomics of the 2.x mailman web interface are
absolutely horrible. I get tickets on a regular basis having to do
with people getting confused by the interface.... and plenty more
tickets because AOL users have decided it's easier to mark mail from a
list as spam rather than figure out how to unsubscribe.

Anyway, please let me know if the new footers break something. Here's
hoping my inbox stays relatively empty. *crosses fingers*
