When only 200 people choose to vote in elections I'm not sure we need
to spam thousands of people who don't care in the least. If you do
care about them then there are plenty of opportunities to help run
them and there are plenty of opportunities to become aware of them
happening.

I understand there are times when people who do care are extremely
busy and just can't deal with every piece of email that comes through.
We can't change that fact of life. For anyone who does care and is
worried about missing the announcement please subscribe to the main
announce list and read it.
