I would say I know a lot of the listees in my area personally, and I can
always email them via a private CC: list but there are always many other
lurkers who never post to the list who can benefit from my Los Angeles
Happenings calendar or other events. And I'm sure the same can be said for
other people elsewhere.
But I do think there has to be a standard set for the benefit of all. I
think we've gone through this before, but for some reason people just
haven't stuck to it.
To Erik, our listadmin, I propose for list netiquette purposes that from
here on every local-specific event announcement begin with the location in
caps, followed by a colon: i.e.:
NEW YORK: Giant Step Calendar
LONDON, UK: Roni Size at Royal Albert Hall
Those are the only rules, but use common sense; There's also a "London" in
Canada, and in other places in the world. There are "Hollywood"s in both
California and Florida. And there
are a million and a half clubs in the world called "The Elbo Room" :) So be
as specific as common sense dictates.
