Is there a specific reason people aren't using this list?

I'm getting a LOT of email that has massive cc: list on it,
OR, alternatively, that is private, but that I think, rather, should
be public to the list.
I'm not getting it.
Is there something I need to know about?

Oh;
Tom's on the list.
He already knows. :)

1. People were having a hard time communicating,
using the blog, and so on.
2. I created this list, so that people could communicate
more easily, in an open, shared, public space.
3. So, here it is, and lets use it.
Sorry, Cheryl; I didn't subscribe your address, first, because
I thought that it was a special "storyfield conference information
hotline" thing only; I didn't realize it was your primary personal voice
of access to pretty much the whole conference, and so on.
I excluded it, hoping to get your personal email address on instead,
or whatever else you planned to use to communicate as a person,
rather than in the role of collective speech for the storyfield
conference.
My vision of this space is that it would go something like this:
People would write their quips, quick thoughts, casual
conversations, ideas about storyfield, coordination emails,
and so on, to this mailing list.
Ignore whatever you don't care about, read what you do care
about, respond to what you like.
After a time, the space would sort of "fill up," and cross-chatter
might become an issue, and so at that point of maturity,
we split the list into two, one for "official business," and one for
"extra chatter."
Should it fill up even more, we can make more lists for particular
purposes. I'd be eager, excited really, to show people how to
do this. Google has plenty of documentation on their sites as
well.
There are questions about the social organization, rather than
the technical organization. Those are important, and will probably
arise when necessary. I suspect, on my limited knowledge,
that we'll all look to Tom & Peggy when that time comes, to ask,
"Well, what did you intend? What do you think? What do we
think?"
(I'm just bringing this up, because I see it as part of the story
of our gathering and so on.)
If anyone has better ideas, I'd love to hear them. But I think
it's kind of (well, I want word better than "silly," but I'm not finding
it) for us to be making all these cc: lists, back channel
communications, and so on. Much nicer to have it linked and
coordinated, and so on.
Earnestly, I think it's most important, like, "ASAP" level, to
get communications onto an email list, so that people can just
**communicate** period, because there's so much training and
so on that goes into blog posting and so on, it seems.
