Dunn" ] Re: headline-girl list closure proposal [James McGarry Subject: headline-girl list closure proposal Folks, Over the last few years, traditional mailing lists have died off in favour of other forms of online conversation -- e.g. message boards, Facebook Groups, and a plethora of other ways that make it easy for Emm fans to congregate together. There have been no posts to headline-girl@smoe.org since November 2008. If there are no objections, I'd like to ask the folks at SMOE to shut down the list. Let me know if you have any concerns about this. I realize that it would be the end of an era, but sometimes we need to move onto bigger and better tools. - - Julian - -- [ Julian C.

I tend to agree. While there is certainly not any significant traffic on the list, there seems to be numerous times where some bit of news only gets disseminated via this email list. Truth is, with the demise of the former Emmbassy forums, there is no specific place to really talk about Emm related news and other gossip. >On May 12, 2010, at 0:17, "Julian C.

I've found that some announcements are timely, but tour info tends to be spotty at best. I don't think there has been anything on any of those mecahnisms about her current concert schedule. Case in point - Emm came through as a guest musician with someone a few months ago (was it a year ago now/) and I didn't find out until after it was over. Not saying things here are any better (since I'm usually one of those posting news). Greg ------------------------------ End of headline-girl-digest V12 #1 **********************************
