Dear all
Had the same thought this end - however, I suppose it is important
to ensure that news gets through so maybe the fact that some
messages appear twice (once on germnews, once on wigs) is not so bad.
Perhaps we may need to give the situation a while to settle?

now, i dont know if anyone else has noticed this, but it strikes me that
the founding of the german-studies email list (tho of course that's
something which is to be welcomed!) has suddenly had quite an effect on the
way wigs-forum works. im subscribed to both lists, which means that i get a
huge amount of messages twice, bc. they are sent to both lists.

>i was wondering then how many of the wigs-forum members are also
subscribed to both lists, & are having the same difficulty? *if* it is the
case that most of us are in both lists (but i may be quite wrong), i wonder
whether it might be time for a debate as to whether we'd like wigs-forum to
change in character somewhat. that is, if we're getting all the
'mainstream' info, eg job adverts, through german-studies anyway, perhaps
we could start using wigs-forum in more specialised ways - i.e. less as a
general notice-board & more specifically for wigs business, and the kind of
very useful, more individual debates and exchanges of info which we've had?
