This would allow us all to set up the necessary filters in our email clients to get rid of the stuff we don't want to see.
Any good?

In one word? No! <g> In more words, filters do not work on list mail (mine
don't)
Can't you filter a subject line? My good man, you need another mail client :-) We have a constant [PRODIG] tag already which would work as the main trigger for any filter.
Digest readers can't filter stuff or delete OT posts.
I confess I hadn't thought of Digest subscribers...
All the OT posts clog up the archives
Well, the point is that the OT topics may be OT but they are still of interest to most pro imagemakers. I'm not suggesting we have a tag of OT RECIPES... :-)
(including stuff like, sorry, me too, etc)
Certainly this should be off list altogether...
You can post "related" posts to the Annexe
You mean the forums on the AoP site. Does anyone actually go there...? :-) Email is much more convenient.
You can always ask permission BEFORE posting.
Now I know you're joking... :-) Oooops... :-))
Anyway, this was just a suggestion. I'm concerned with fostering the community spirit on this list which I think is already pretty exceptional. I'm often interested in topics which listmoms rule out of order but don't want to bother the original poster with additional mail.
