Fwd: [Cms-moe-list] Cfp: USABILITY: GAINING A COMPETITIVE EDGE

[David Jennings]

How did this message get to the MOE list?

It looks from the headers as though the MOE list may have been 
subscribed directly to the HCI Jiscmail service. If this is indeed 
the case, can I register my objection to this?

It is very bad practice (a) technically, because of the risks of one 
mailing list server talking directly to another and getting their 
knickers in a twist (technical term), and (b) in terms of user 
choice, privacy etc (members of the MOE list should be allowed to 
decide themselves if they wish to sub to the HCI list - some may 
already be subscribed). In other words, it's bad HCI.
