Friends, Would it be possible for the list members to add their e-mail addresses to their signatures?
Although I greatly enjoy and learn a great deal from most of the discussions on PEN-L, it is very difficult for me, and probably for my likes who need a learner's dictionary to follow some of the discussions, to cope with the heavy volume of e-mails on this list. Further, some discussions are so inherently anglo-american that it is impossible for me to comprehend what is going on. Here is an example: >>Michael Perelman wrote: >>Do religious zealots usually frequent lap dancers??? > >Ask Jimmy Swaggart. >Doug I understand Michael perfectly but I don't understant Doug. Who the hell is this Jimmy Swaggart? By the way, the same goes for both Doug's and Lou's lists. I would have subscribed to both, but if I did, I would have had no time for anything other than reading e-mails. This is why I choose to eavesdrop on the conversations on these lists from their respective websites, instead of subscribing to them to receive individual e-mails. My issue is that some times I want to ask questions to the author of an e-mail. But unless I have the address of the author, my only choice is to write to the list and further increase th eheavy volume. So, it would be nice if the e-mail addresses are added to the signatures. This is my request. Now my suggestion: Please keep in mind that not all of the subscribers, or peekers, of these lists are anglo-americans. Best, Sabri Oncu [EMAIL PROTECTED]
