Ahem. Aha. Embarrassed now. Did I ever tell anyone I'm very paranoid?
No kickings were administered - call it my paranoia.

Anyway - a couple of reasons for not spamming you all about skillswap:

1. It was full full full so I only spammed attendees and reserves once
it was full - thus you only got one announcement

2. I really don't want to spam you lot endlessly; I can get
over-excited and bore people about knowledge, communities and all that
((trust me, my late night 'drunk in charge social software' rants
about the forces of evil aren't worth receiving) so I set my internal
editor on full power a lot

And another thing, it is useful for [_] but not *the* most exciting
thing on the list, no way.

Oh, and, Dan did a great job. I think his brain is a bit fried by
trying to encapsulate it all into 40 mins, but he'll recover...

fyi: [_] gets the scoop in skillswap announcements (don't tell the
other lucky souls who get spammed) because this is where it came from.

You are the originators of it and it is rooted in you. And Laura and I
remember this at all times. We are working out how to get more of the
decision-making done in the google group, so it doesn't feel like
we're encroaching on [_] (or other lists), but I'll talk about that
when I haven't been in Birmingham on the day job...

so, sorry for the confusion, move along now, nothing more to see here...

Ooh there was just one thing I had to spam you about... Nah, I'll do
that tomorrow morning...
