I think the discussion is as relevant or more then many others that have 
been on this list.  Seems it's pretty well died now.

Because not everyone uses the twiki.  Further, if folks post the invites 
with OT, I don't see a problem.  As noted above, there are a lot of 
worse OT messages posted to the list.

Can we simply agree that gmail postings contain gmail in the subject so 
folks can filter them?  It seems all of them have had that reference anyway.
