[LUG]Re: Mailing list subscriptions

[Paul Sutton via list <list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not too sure,  but better than nothing I guess.  I don't have the 
contacts in the right places really.  If the site looks like it is also 
being updated (as in say posts) then that looks good too,  I tend not to 
bother with a website where looks like there has been no update in a while.

Maybe just giving the group a mention in various social channels could 
help,  it gets us out there, even in a small way.
