Thanks, Joey!

I think the way it was communicated at the TIE conference, a number of
folks were just told to send email queries to the old list address
(i.e. the list address was simply written on fliers).  I guess the
theory was that the message would then be approved by the listmaster
and any replies that people sent would also go to the poster.  Later
on, I think folks were just referred to the web site, so there may not
be a lot of potential for confusion, but I'm not sure.

So I suggest adding the email address that they can post to also,
rather than only presenting them with just an option to join a list.

Or perhaps inventing a new "info at ...." address for inquiries, and
advertising that in the bounce?  It might be cleaner that way, since
many people don't normally CC the poster on a response to a list.

What do you all think?  Would someone like to receive the "info"
emails?  Perhaps it could just be an alias for the list managers
email?  Or does this just lead to more management overhead, risks of
it getting stale, and spam?

Should we add a link to the coloco home page to the footer on emails
that are sent via the list?  Might be helpful, and not too much
more cruft on each message.

The page at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-co
now points to the wiki, but not the home page:

 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ColoradoTeam
