How come we get seminar announcements for Feb 4th, on Feb 5th? It seems that this type of thing happens occasionally on this alias. --Chris. [I used to send out seminar notices as they came in, trying to maximize their usefulness. Readers found this annoying, however, because lengthy seminar and conference notices were mixed into nearly every digest. The list members seem to prefer having conference notices segregated so that this substream may be easily skipped or archived. Such collection introduces a delay of up to a week. Note that the purpose of seminar abstracts (N.B.: abstracts are required) on AIList is to inform those who can't attend seminars rather than to alert those who can. -- KIL]
