Nuzum, as usual, spot on.

While we are at it, I would add that _IF_ you feel it is important
enough to send out to 300, 400, or 1000 people, please take the time to
edit the quoted text down to the distilled minimum required.

Remember, this isn't Twitter, an instant messenger, or IRC chat room.
This is a mailing list and there are many others on the list.  For those
with hundreds if not thousands of emails, try to keep things as
condensed as possible.

I would also add that Launchpad has mailing lists for projects so that
the minute details can be discussed ad infinitum with the parties that
need to receive the information.  Further, you can put comments into
your Bazaar change logs for everyone to read.

Sincerely,
TJS
