I'm still running my little list entirely by hand, though I
still hope to automate it one day. My practice has been to send out
a purge notice about once a year, and replace the list with a new
one composed of those who reply to it, saying "keep me on." That
way anybody killfiling the list -- or worse, hitting delete on
sight every time -- gets off by default, and I have a manual form
of opt-in.
Is that in line with what the big kids do, given my small
scale?
Some of the regulars have opted in half a dozen or more
times. I can give well over 99 44/100% odds they will again. Any
easy routine -- especially once I do automate (and, I hope, set the
purge to run at 365-day intervals as a cron job) to spare them the
bother?
