Yet another way to handle the large number of postings to this reflector...
I follow a lot of different e-mail reflectors, most of them are software oriented where the new messages per day is in the low hundreds. I handle this by redirecting the e-mails to folders for each of the groups that I follow. Thus, my regular e-mail inbox is not polluted by excessive e-mail messages. This makes it easy to scan through the messages at the end of the day or periodically through the day and pick out the ones I like. But, the real advantage to this is that after a while, you start to build up a significant library of good technical information local on your computer. In my case, my search techniques on this local computer far exceed the methods available via on-line mailing list archives. I am typically hit by 250 to 350 e-mail messages a day because of the groups I follow and I do not find this to be a problem what-so-ever. Oh, of course I have fairly highspeed download (~20 Mbps) but even with lower download speeds, performance is usually not a problem. 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
