[HOT] Inflationary use of the mailinglist

[Julian Haag]

Thanks for your reply, and thanks to Blake too!

maybe I am just not able to use a mailinglist correctly. No doubt 
mapswipe is an interesting tool and is related to HOT. But in my opinion 
only urgend topics should go into a mailinglist.

Don't get me wrong: During the Nepal quake there were 20-30 mails a day 
for more than a week. I'm absolutely fine with that. That was mostly 
important, interesting and urgend stuff.

Ignoring is a good thing until your phone or mailapplication on the 
computer keeps telling you about new emails. Constantly.

@Blake: Maybe I will join the announcement list and just subscribe to 
this list when getting involved in desastermapping..


Thanks!

Julian
