hi Lee I personally have found the AGtech list as a priceless resource for understanding/troubleshooting accessgrid related issues. In my opinion the volume is negligible when compared to the overall value of the list.
However, if the volume is really an issue for you, I recommend setting up an email filter by subject to store all AGTECH messages in a folder separate from your inbox. That way you can review past messages if there is a topic of interest without the need to sort them from your general inbox. _________________________________ AAt 12:17 PM 2/16/2006, Lee Margetts wrote: >Have you guys noticed the recent UNSUBSCRIBE emails. > >This mailing list generates a very high volume and much of it is >needless.
