Thanks for your response. I understand what happened, but I think we disagree on where the line is drawn for being part of the community. It seems your team decided people who signed up for slack were entitled to news of a whitelist, while people who opted into your email list that promised "updates", were not (I consider news of a whitelist an important update!). A lot of people don't like slack, due to the amount of trolling/shilling/FUD and other irrelevant info posted there. That doesn't mean we aren't interested in being part of the community. Not sure why one channel received preference over another.
