I hadn't noticed the pattern, but I certainly agree that 
emails like the last one are clearly inappropriate.  It's
often good for a mailing list to be low volume, but this 
one is too low, IMO.  I'd like to at least see the 
announcement of the monthly meeting here, since I seldom 
go to the BayLisa Meetup page.

I use GreenCitizen for recycling anyways, with whom I have 
no affiliation.   :-)
