 Where is this quoted from?
 I can't remember reading it before.

 For what it's worth (and I don't think my opinion matters as much as those
 who actually have to do the work), I support making a list if it makes
 people's jobs easier. It saves time, and makes it less likely than an
 employee will be left out.

 All the criticisms I see here apply just as much to emails which CC each
 employee, as to a mailing list with employees on it: the core concern is
 that employees see content that contractors, volunteers, and others do
 not.

 I can't see the harm in sending everything employee-related to tor-
 internal, but it also doesn't bother me that much if we cut down on the
 volume of administrative email I (and ~70 others) have to read. And in
 that case, I trust employees to forward any interesting tidbits to the
 appropriate forums.
