Hey guys - when reading about the BS web (great article btw - https://pxlnv.com/blog/bullshit-web/ ) it reminded me about the constant pestering to sign up for the Pharo newsletter. Given I am signed up - how can I stop it always popping up? Itâs in the list of the BS web... so do we really need it to do this? At least it should be a cookie that if I have it it goes away, or better still - just put it as a menu entry and let people sign up if they like out stuff? Given our community fights the BS can't we lead better? Tim Sent from my iPhone
+1 I don't know how to solve it, but I agree it bothers me... Of course at some point I started ignoring it, but I imagine it can create a bad impression for people from outside the community. On Thu, Aug 2, 2018 at 6:15 PM Tim Mackinnon <tim@testit.works> wrote:

Ditto here, and I'm already subscribed to the newsletter! So it's not only nagging, but also superfluous. On 03/08/2018 21:42, Tim Mackinnon wrote:
