That makes sense.

What about a new mailing list, outages-new@ or outages-first@ or something, where you can only post about something if you’re the first person to post about it, and then it redirects to outages-discussion@?  I don’t mean some algorithmic mechanism for determining who’s first, I just mean public shaming.  :-)

Then if people are really picky about not seeing “me too!” posts, they can just subscribe to the one new list, and everybody else can enjoy wallowing in all of them!
