Re: Keeping the off-topic off the list ?

["Krispen Hartung" <khartung@cableone.net>]

Mee too. It takes so very little effort me to delete a message or entire 
thread. It really means nothing to me
if a discussion group has a burst of OT topics. It takes me 1 second to 
view 
them, control mouse click all of
them, and delete in no time.  Are folks who don't do this just compelled 
to 
read every single message that
comes in their inbox? I'd bet at the computer 24 hours a day, if that were 
the case for me.

My view is close to Warrens here. So in order to keep up with
everything without having to bother about separate lists I have them
both filtered into the same mail box. Recommended!

I don't need to know which list a certain thread is coming from, I
just delete or read-write-reply. My replies goes out to the same list
they came from. A true victory for mail filtering and separate mails
subscription!
