Dear Andrew,
Please could this list be made so only the facilitator can send messages to
it for the duration of the course? Since its only just over 2 weeks to go,
that's not long. The messages will otherwise overwhelm the time I have to
deal with my in-box, and its difficult to pick out which are actually for
me. Its always easier just to hit 'reply' if you can, so there is clearly a
risk that otherwise 630 peoples' inboxes will also be filling up with
'please remove me' messages, or ones which are only intended for one group.
If you do decide to do this, perhaps also send *another* message first with
clear instructions on how we can contact our groups, and the email to
contact you with actual course queries/responses you want sent to you?
This is how the other 2 FOLIO courses ran, and it was fine. I would hate
this one to get hard to do because of a blizzard of emails.
Of course, discussion could and should become open again after the course as
via this list, and could well be very interesting. So its not censorship,
but just hanging on a couple of weeks before getting into general
discussion?
