Hi!

about the UNSUBSCRIBERS: (again? Yes, again!)
Now you all are thinking of ways to get rid of all these unsubscribers!
But, why don't we tackle the subject at the -source-? Where do all
the unsubscribers get their information from? Mostly from books
like 'The Yellow Pages' and Internet resources on the Net, like
'GNN'. I think it's better to check out those places, to see if
they are giving the correct information about the Disney comics ML!
The book I was talking about two hours ago, ('Golden Directory'),
wrote that the ML was about Disney-cartoons. I believe the 'Yellow
Pages' does the same thing. There also are a lot of Web-indexes
to find on the web. They also might give incorrect information.
Also, a lot of people are searching for Mailing Lists with keywords
as 'Disney'. It's hard to find a solution for that problem! I DO
think, that FREDRIK's idea is very good!

When people are searching for Disney-related subjects, they find
this Mailing List! But what, if Per changes the name, to something
like: 'Dis-ney-comics'? I don't mean that the little stripe between
the 's' en 'n' is a good idea, but something like -that- will
prevent the people who want to find Disney-related subjects to find
our ML! When people want to find a Mailing List about 'comics' and
they use 'comic' as their keyword, they'll find our Mailing List.
But the 'Dis-ney' makes it clear, that it is about Disney comics,
so that no super-hero-fans wants to subscribe!

--Arthur.
