I have my membership on the list set up to receive the daily digest. I get one
email a day with the postings since the last one.
I can scan over it read more deeply the ones I want.
When I'm finished I can delete the lot.
I am in a couple of groups like this and I have them all set up this way.
Works for me.
Cheers,
Paul

Forums (IMO) are much superior to mailing lists for one simple reason
If the forum software is a threaded one then it is really easy to avoid
reading any drivel from the trolls. You just ignore the whole thread if the
troll starts it or just ignore any parts of an otherwise useful thread if it
becomes troll infested.
With mailing lists it is easy to just not open a post from a troll but if
someone else directly quotes a troll then it is a bit tricky to "stop
reading instantly".
The trick is that the forum must be threaded. Of course the desperate trolls
will then start to put their poison in the subject line and to increase
their use of sock puppets so as to try to trick us into reading their
garbage. At this point there, unfortunately, needs to be some form of
moderation/banning (or CENSORSHIP as the trolls will bleat).
