And you, Philip, are trying to announce to intelligent young college
students with a thirst for knowledge, and older intelligent experienced
faculty and staff people who have learned that at least some announcements
matter.
Not like...oh, nevermind. ;-)
I remember (watching from nearby Pasadena) a particularly mean and vicious
campaign for mayor of Los Angeles, back in the late 1940s. A week or so
before election day, the Los Angeles Times did a poll which showed, among
other things, that name recognition of the more-recognized--and incumbent--
candidate was running 13% (I think it was) among potential voters.
At least, mail admins are not alone in being ignored.
