OK, after a fair amount of discussions - some in non-public aliases,
despite my best efforts :-( - I've decided to try this.
I've...
* Created a new "Advocacy" alias (@ GlassFish.dev.java.net),
* Moved the existing list of subscribers from "Marketing" to "Advocacy",
* Closed the "Marketing" alias (@ GlassFish.dev.java.net)
We will give "Advocacy" a try and reevaluate in a couple of months.
Announcements should be sent to both "USERS" and "Advocacy", but
discussions on "what", "how", and "why" of 'advocacy' should be done in
the new alias.
Thanks, and let's see where we are by JavaOne.
