- This occurred to me a while ago as well, and I never suggested it to anyone:
- some sort of scheme whereby you could put yourself on the Judge's "mailing
- list", and it would send you a note whenever a new game was created. To
- avoid accumulating a huge waiting list of people who have just forgotten
- remove themselves (or who have graduated and lost their accounts, or gone
- away for the summer, or...), one could be required to resubscribe monthly or
- something; this would still be better than having to send in a LIST request
- even as often as once every three weeks.
-
- Yet another item for the to-do list... (grin)
