The purpose of this list is to disseminate information about MD. As
such, notice of sales or savings are part of it. Newcomers join the
list to find out more about MD, where to buy it, and where to save money
on it. MD should be promoted on one list, don't force newcomers to
subscribe to this list and the list for each vendor that sells MD
products.
I have run into similar list problems several times before on other
lists. They are always solved when people are informed on how to reduce
the burden of list traffic using the folders and filters. Even if you
don't set a filter to remove the "coupon" posts, just having all the MD
stuff in one folder lets you sort according to subject line, by sender
or by date and delete or ignore topics you aren't interested.
