I wasn't going to comment, but I think some people have missed the point. These are not "me too" replies intended for a single recipient. Diaspora is a social network and as such it depends upon people "connecting" in order to work. There are clearly a number of people on this list who are interested in connecting with as many of the other list subscribers as possible. The best way of reaching those subscribers and letting them know your details is via the list, since many of us don't have each other's e-mail addresses.
It is also in keeping with the purpose of the list - we would like to establish an Ubuntu UK presence on Diaspora, even if only out of curiosity. This is a technical project aimed at like-minded people in a predominantly technical audience. We discuss lots of other kinds of projects on this list and nobody complains. Why should this project be any different? JT Sent from my HTC
