There's a disturbing trend on sust-mar lately: people are sending messages
only a day or two before the event they advertise. That's not enough
notice.

Please try to send sust-mar messages at least three WEEKS in advance of
the event.

Not everyone checks email daily. If you send sust-mar a message on Monday
telling people about something that happens on Tuesday, even if I post it
that day, some people won't see it in time. 

Remember: it may have to wait before it gets posted.  There may be other
time-sensitive messages in the queue. Otherwise, we penalize people who
are ahead in line.

And finally, almost 3 dozen people read sust-mar in DIGEST form.  That
means they get a compilation every 2 weeks. So they won't read your
message until long after the event unless you send it early. 

For your consideratio ...
