Errr, (recognizing recent de-lurked status)
I kind of appreciate the lack of trailing list info at the bottom of
each post. It's also true some folks never seem to notice what it's for
anyway :{)
However, why not have the list info page URL and unsub address in the
headers? [Answering own question] Right, because folks who ask on-list
and/or didn't save their 'welcome to a list' message aren't likely to
look in the headers anyway.
So, no easy social answer I guess. Still, could put those two bits of
info in the headers, they're usually long enough anyway on most mail or
lists.
Cheers, JD

Synchro longing, hmm, no, lust. Tempered by availability and cost. Nuts.
