mailing list pollutant is probably the "+1" messages. :)<br class="">

<blockquote type="cite" class="">Dear delegates,<br class="">
let me start with a little stat: 2022 we had a total of total of 587 messages on this list. Of the 536 messages there were 161 "congrats" of one form or the other. So there were still 375 messages (~1/day) dedicated to other topics. This means 30% of all messages
on the list didn't carry any message beyond politely saying "cool guys! We are so happy you made it.".<br class="">
<irony><br class="">
This might impress you but given we have a total of 110 Chapters we could do much better.<br class="">
Just a simple estimate of the huge potential: we have ~110 Chapters which conduct elections every 2 years (for now not counting ISOC board elections, rejuvenations ... or so). If every Chapter would only show a minimum of empathy and and politeness, and send
congrats to those elected this would count up to the impressive number of 110/2years*119 ~ 6,000/year or 16/day! Please don't overly emote the risk to miss the 1/day message with content among those.<br class="">
So: wouldn't this be a goal to head for? Be confident and assured: we are good on our way.<br class="">
Thanks and let's improve!<br class="">
</irony><br class="">
Best regards<br class="">
Klaus<br class="">
PS.: I think I saw some kind of ISOC "congratulations" mailing list before but I'm not sure. But if so it obviously was a failure. It might be an alternative to send congrats messages directly to those felicitated instead of the list - which - optimist I am
- I'm afraid would fail as well.<br class="">
