The home page is intended to be broadly indicative, vs. definitive.

For the definitive word(s) on the purpose of a list, ask majordomo for
the "info" file for the list.

And you got "hammered" for bringing up issues that were perceived as
off-topic for the list to which you posted, which was baylisa-jobs, not
baylisa.  (Well, some folks also considered the content unwelcome for
other reasons.)

>Just my two cents.

And folks who are sufficiently interested in BayLISA's infrastructure
are very welcome to subscribe and post to services-tf at baylisa.org.
(That is not intended to exclude anyone; rather, it is a recognition
that there exists a sizable proprtion of BayLISA's membership, some
of whom may well subscribe to the baylisa list, for which this
message is more "noise" than "signal.")

But commenting about the lack of a list with a certain focus, when
one has repeatedly demonstrated unwillingness to be responsible for
such a list, strikes me as somewhere between disingenuous and
hypocritical.
