<div dir="auto"><div>Honestly, just delete the email and move on. Is it annoying? A little bit. Is it this big of a deal that we need a whole new list or a new way of doing things? No. It has been this way for at least a decade and about once a year something crazy like the ATT outage happens and you get spammed for 48 hours. After that, it's totally quiet save for the other small/regional outage here or there.</div><div><br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature">- Mike Bolitho</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Mar 9, 2024, 3:40 AM Bill Woodcock via Outages-discussion <<a href="mailto:outages-discussion@outages.org">outages-discussion@outages.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">> On Mar 8, 2024, at 23:46, virendra rode via Outages-discussion <<a href="mailto:outages-discussion@outages.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">outages-discussion@outages.org</a>> wrote:<br>

That makes sense.<br>
<br>
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. :-)<br>
<br>
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!<br>
