BS Web and Pharo

Tim Mackinnon

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? 

It’s 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?

+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.

Ditto here, and I'm already subscribed to the newsletter!

So it's not only nagging, but also superfluous.
