Re: [AGA SC] [Fwd: AGA-member lists]

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

I think it's a great idea in general.  I think that if you announce things
as they come up, that's fine, no matter how frequent or infrequent.  If it's
"reminder" type stuff, I agree with Erik, that more than once a month or so,
and it would get annoying for people.  Kept to that level, it's probably
actually better on the "general" list, so people don't tune it out.
