You missed a couple didn't you... :) there is always the digest version and reading the posts online sorted already by subject. This list is plain text only, thus it doesn't use much bandwidth. I'm on dialup and I don't have any problems. Lots of folks unsubscribe temporarily when their going to be gone for a bit. There's filters any which way you want it, 2 clicks and I can sort and delete a whole subject all at the same time. I really think all need to lighten up and go read the instructions on how to fully get the most out of their email browser.
I for one enjoy the humor and comradery that exist on this list often in OT posts. This is a very active list and that's a good thing! I look forward to sitting down relaxing for bit checking out what's going on in PDML. Quiet boring lists don't get it either. Come on folks, lets fence this bad humored disgruntled attitude and be decent and considerate of everyone's opinions and ideas. If this isn't your thing, maybe you shouldn't be here. If you have forgotten how to unsubscribe or switch to digest the directions are on the web site. <http://www.pdml.net/dbrewer/p2.html?> I feel bad for Shel about the nasty emails he is now getting. If you feel you need to flame someone, you should be brave enough to do it in public. If you can't say it in public it probably shouldn't be said. If I were Shel, I would strongly be tempted to consider forwarding these nastys to the list so their true colors would be shown to all. Although this might be bad overall for the list and a kill file will take care of them permanently. Dave Two solutions; 1 - go modern, get rid of the list and use a www forum and you can have sections for whatever topic you choose and easy access from anywhere. 2 - mark email headings with OT, DIGITAL, PAW, GENERAL, LENS, BODY, FILM, etc, so that you can filter incoming email into appropriate folders. Then if you don't want to see OT or PAW you don't have to look just periodically delete the contents of the folder. HTH Ziggy
