With very much due respect to John for taking the time to
post this stuff, I agree that it is duplicative of what I
already receive. (And, indeed, the IRS frequently duplicates
"national" items via "regional" email lists, etc.) I would
certainly be happy with a periodic (weekly, every few days)
posting of LINKS as you suggest. But I don't have a big
"rip" on this one way or the other. <g

On balance, I like the idea that readers here would go out
of their way to provide useful tax information, even if from
an IRS mailing list or similar.

Since not everyone subscribes to all these lists, being
able to read them here is a convenience, and for those who
do get the lists, a simple delete lets you avoid reading
tem.

As to re posting IRS missives as reprinted in their digital
emails we get and anyone can sign up for, I agree. No need.
I could care less about who IRS appointed to be deputy
associate assistant chief of the somethingoranother branch
out in Detroit.

But the CCH indices are helpful, at least for me.

I asked about that also, to the extent of requesting
labeling as to which lists they came from, so we could
ignore them if we already subscribe to the lists. I
also asked, in the case of non-government lists, whether
the poster had the right to repost the information.

The moderator and the poster seem to agree that it's
proper.

As long as we're talking about this type of posting, is it
proper to have posted here certain items which are obviously
originating from certain tax organizations' (or the IRS's)
mailing lists?

I say that if we wanted them, then we would join those lists
directly..... [Perhaps a monthly FAQ on what lists are
available would be appropriate, but not the daily
posts/emails from those lists.]

Comments?

The last time the charter, posting instructions, and
crossposting policy were posted was in May. Perhaps you
should kick the backup system (your son, was it?).
