[BALUG-Admin] 2nd BALUG Email Announcement on High Volume Lists?

[Andrew Fife]

So far no howls of pain that I know of.  But I do agree that that if they
happen we should take them seriously.

    michael's observations make sense to me
(speaking as a balug supporter in this case).
    seems to me important to keep a record of
responses if you test the waters by sending
reminders.
    any howls of pain should be taken seriously.
