<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Folks,<br><br></div>Since this list is new, let's let everyone express their vision for in-scope content. I am +1 for continued introductions because I find them valuable. I am -1 for anyone trying to convince <i>me</i> they're not valuable to <i>me</i>. But I tolerate the continued attempts (to convince me they are not valuable to me), because in the worst case I can unsubscribe or filter. <br><br>I will never attempt to convince anyone else what they should feel about the issue, and long term I'll most likely switch to reading this on GMANE. <br><br>Would this list traffic be any less objectionable if it were "real content" (as dictated by someone's individual's standards)?<b> </b>I suspect "no", and therefore suggest folks uncomfortable with "introduction content" seek alternatives as I will do if I'm uncomfortable with "anti-introduction content".<br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 22, 2015 at 7:50 AM, Amir Ladsgroup <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ladsgroup@gmail.com" target="_blank">ladsgroup@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">It's not "python-introductions" either.
