[CRNMC] List Serve

[Caitlin Alexander]

It was a request that posting to the CRNMC list serve have to do with CRNMC

It was not an authoritarian command.

When I say "we" - "we" all created CRNMC for CRNMC information and
coordination.

I personally get tons of emails from all my various interests and sometimes
have to
unsubscribe from certain sites because it is just too much.

It is not an unreasonable request that this list serve be focused so that
people are not getting information
they are not interested in.

Those with other interests have many, many outlets around the web.

Thanks.

-Caitlin
