I would have to agree with Jay I am on 2 other email lists for my other
bikes. The TDM list isn't bad about the same. But for some reason the R1
list is just full of fluff  and ego bashing arguments. I would have to
say we've got a good thing going here !

One more vote to not create another list.  Yes, we get some amount of
fluff, but yes, it is usually identified.

As for traffic levels on the list, this one is pretty light.  So much so
that I often leave town for a few days without unsubscribing, knowing that
my inbox will handle it.  Try that on any other moto-list, without being
in digest.

I subscribed to the Ducati list right after I bought the 900 CR, and was
planning to do it in digest.  When I subscribed I was busy and had to run
to a meeting, so left it in non-digest until I got back.  One hour later I
had 135 new messages, virtually all from the Duc list.  I unsubbed
instantly and have never gone back--I don't have time to sort through a
digest as big as that, and certainly don't want it in real time.

This list has gradually gotten better at using fluff indicators, or, at a
minimum, a clear RE line.  As long as that's the case, no problem.  I'll
admit I don't open everything on this list.

Gentlemen,
I was not attempting to compare our list with other lists. I am terribly 
confident that the fluff on any given list is proportionate to the number of 
units sold/subscribers to the list. That having been said, does it change the 
fact that the original intent of the list was GTS content, not unrelated 
personal information? We may be better at self regulation, but does that mean 
there is not room for improvement? If fluff is what keeps this list alive, 
then, it should be identified as such.

Well, perhaps not fluff, but personalities are a large part of at least my 
enjoyment of this list. There is so much cut and dried technical information 
to be shared. The pleasure of motorcycle riding can bleed over into other 
aspects and I don't mind. Just so long as it's identified. The complication 
of a second list, however, would be much more of a nuisance me thinks.
