Andy, I've been on the list when I have time for about six months. Mail volume has been DOWN, possibly because of everyone being busy of the Christmas/New Years holidays. It's best to FILTER your messages so business/personal/mandrake mail all goes to its own "box", that way, even if you get too busy to read Mandrake mail, you will still get your mail needed for daily life/business. The current 3 OT topics have been UNUSUAL...Often there are weeks with none or just a little comment on the bottom of a post on hardware. My guess is OT is normally only 1% (one percent) of total volume. My advice is drop this forum UNLESS you truly want to learn...Mail volume will not likely go down............ We on the list could help EVERYONE by ONLY QUOTING WHAT IS NEEDED IN RESPONDING TO A QUESTION/COMMENT.......That will save much more online time that cutting OT's....... noise to signal ratio is too high at present. I shall persist for a short time to see what the norm is - or even who<G>
