For those who think they know their technology and how to relate to a list, and with apology for going off MD topic (at least I put it in the subject). In the time it took to give an explanation of how to do mail sorting, posting an item that has NOTHING to do with MD and, ignoring the fact that you could just post links to URLs describing such items you posters show your disdain and disrespect for the other members of the list by your actions. AND in ignoring that you can use the very same technology to sort from two lists (or more) into the same subject folder, achieving "virtual oneness" of your list including all of your varied and wondrous multiple MD sources and making them look as one, you simply bypass the simple fix you yourself can achieve while attempting to impose some a more cumbersome and useless use of the same technology upon others, all the while you totally disregard the point of THIS list ---->MD. So if we want this list to keep debating the procedural aspects of various email packages, let's rename this list to email-l and start a new list for MD. You're debating a position that's just clueless in its logic. You've shown that you have the power, awareness, skill and logic to use the programs in your arsenal to achieve what you wish to achieve, all the while without imposing a single amount of hassle on anyone else. Yet, you choose to propose the tact that would impose such a method on others. Think about it, at this point you're arguing a position, which clearly makes no sense and you're staying off topic with multiple posts in an attempt to prove yourself correct in your method. And for your information, in some areas of the WORLD, some people actually pay for their service based on the amount of time on line or amount downloaded. Its not fair to them to impose our ugly American, it's free, just use the technology routine on them. As for me, I sub to several MD related lists. Some I sub on a digest mode and some on a per post mode. And you know what, I sort them as I d@mn well please. Quit trying to tell me I need to sub to the daily list and screen for SPAM, if I'd wanted to do that I'd already have done it. If you want a list like with no digests that talks about MD and best deals and email programs and operating systems and didgereedoos, I don't care --- go start one. Let's keep this one on topic. Use the technology you describe to achieve that which you seem to be complaining about and stop trying to impose SPAM or the need to screen SPAM on the rest of us. If you want it all to look like individual lists in single posts, just sort it to one folder and read it as if it was. You can have your cake and eat it too, without imposing your method to the expense of how others choose to use technology. As Nike says, Just Do It. Can you GROK that????? If its SPAM and its more than once per month and/or it doesn't reside in a one line signature, it doesn't belong on any list. A SPAM IS A SPAM IS A SPAM. (with apologies to ee cummings). Oh and FYI, I'm not taking any bait or trolling for a flame war, if you want to debate, take me on off list. I think I've clearly shown the fatal flaw in your position. -- Gary Warren "I take my woman on the beach, fellas, and set down in the sand and play."
