, I just want to say TOUGH if you don't like it.
My opinions are as valid as yours. Meanwhile, I am trying to present a
constructive solution that might help you and others.
I gave up subscribing to digests for any list as soon as I discovered
filters, precisely because filters are much more efficient. For one
thing, you can set up subject filters that work with all the lists
you subscribe to, and with non-email-list messages. For example, one
of my subject filters is "Virus Warning." I have a body filter that
puts everything with the word "Nigeria" anywhere in it into my Trash
folder, because so far every message I've ever gotten with "Nigeria" in
it is some sort of spam/con.
- I skimmed hundreds, literally, after the hurricane last year but you
know what
, I was glad to know everyone was still alive and ok.
Yes, I can read well enough to skim hundreds of headers too. However, I
don't see why I should spend the time when I don't have to.
The point is not whether people should be warm-hearted and help each
other. The point is whether on an unrelated list they should keep all or
most of it to private email.
Although to be honest I'm considering it after this latest bout of
po-faced negativity.
Insstead of presenting a situation whether either you or I have to quit
h-costume, and perhaps asking other people to take sides as to which of
us should quit, why not do or suggest something constructive? There are
technical solutions, if not 100% perfect ones, to the problem of what to
do with too much untargeted information on the Internet.
For me, filters are more effective than email list digests. If you
don't like the idea of filters, what is your constructive suggestion?
