[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 1536508, member: 177"] Well, one makes excuses when one does something wrong. Morrus and the admins and mods are all volunteers. They're giving us something for free. Failure to provide even more stuff for free isn't doing a wrong, so there are no excuses. I don't know if it is unusual to have such a large readership without a mailing list. But I am pretty sure that most sites that get so much traffic are corporate or pay services. EN World is free of charge, not operating for profit, and thus works with more limited resources. But thinking about it, most of the news web sites I look at don't provide that news by e-mail. I don't think WotC does. Sci-Fi Wire doesn't mail out the full text of all it's news stories. Given that they already have the website to disseminate information, the mailing list would be a bit superfluous. Given that the computing power required would not be trivial, taking a pass on the e-mail makes some sense. [/QUOTE]
