Re: Seeking collaborators on efficient VIPhone list reading

2014-06-05 Thread Joseph FreeTech
So why not unsubscribe from the list and simply use the archives to read 
your 10 messages of interest?

I did just this before joining the list when I was in the market for a new 
earpiece. I used the archives to review all previous messages regarding 
earpieces. It was actually kinda cool since all threads had already been 
exhausted, so there was no waiting on subsequent posts. Most of my questions 
had already been asked by others, so the archive turned out to be a great 
resource for me. The archive is also easy to use.

The only problem is that you won't be able to ask specific questions 
relating to a current on-going issue, but this will also not be the case 
with what you're proposing.

Hello List Members,

This list is an extremely valuable asset, and I thank the owners,
moderators, contributors and readers that make it work. It has been my
primary tool for learning how to use my iPhone, which I wouldn't dream of
living without at this point in my life.

However, no matter how well moderated the list is, there are inevitably
messages filling the list I don't care about. In fact, I'd say on a normal
day, no more than 10 messages peak my interest.

This message, for example, is not likely to interest many people, but, if
you are in my boat, and are interested in culling the valuable content from
this list and weeding out the complaints, opinions, one-liners, repetitive
beginner questions, and cutting your reading to a quarter of what it now is,
please write me offline.

My idea is to share the burden among 4 like-minded, committed list readers.
Rather than reading through each message every day, we would all take one
week, cull the valuable content, and only forward the good stuff to the
other three participants. We could discuss ahead of time what constitutes
valuable content. This being an opinion, not everyone will agree on what is
valuable, but I'm sure we can work it out.

I hope three people out there will join me and give this a try, and I
really, really hope this doesn't generate unnecessary list traffic.

Warmly,
Jeffrey Turner

I have a separate Gmail address just for mailing lists.  Gmail groups

for mailing lists for viphone and can bounce through the topics with
my tab key, skipping the topics I have no interest in.  This approach

What is frustrating about this list is the number of inane and one-line 
messages.  You can't necessarily use the archives because you can't tell 
which messages contribute to the topic as opposed to those that are quibbles 
or me-toos.  Secondly, occasionally people still reply to a message while 
hijacking the subject line.


I would really love to find a way to cull through the muck as Jeff suggests.

 What is frustrating about this list is the number of inane and one-line 
 messages.  You can't necessarily use the archives because you can't tell 
 which messages contribute to the topic as opposed to those that are quibbles 
 or me-toos.  Secondly, occasionally people still reply to a message while 
 hijacking the subject line.
 
 I would really love to find a way to cull through the muck as Jeff suggests.

 Threaded displays of messages are very very helpful in this regard. One press 
 of a key or double-tap can delete a hundred messages on a topic that is not 
 relevant to you.

 You can also set the list to no mail and also look at the archive. I do 
 that with several list that I occasionally post to.

 So why not unsubscribe from the list and simply use the archives to read
 your 10 messages of interest?
 
 I did just this before joining the list when I was in the market for a new
 earpiece. I used the archives to review all previous messages regarding
 earpieces. It was actually kinda cool since all threads had already been
 exhausted, so there was no waiting on subsequent posts. Most of my 
 questions
 had already been asked by others, so the archive turned out to be a great
 resource for me. The archive is also easy to use.
 
 The only problem is that you won't be able to ask specific questions
 relating to a current on-going issue, but this will also not be the case
 with what you're proposing.

 Hello List Members,
 
 This list is an extremely valuable asset, and I thank the owners,
 moderators, contributors and readers that make it work. It has been my
 primary tool for learning how to use my iPhone, which I wouldn't dream of
 living without at this point in my life.
 
 However, no matter how well moderated the list is, there are inevitably
 messages filling the list I don't care about. In fact, I'd say on a normal
 day, no more than 10 messages peak my interest.
 
 This message, for example, is not likely to interest many people, but, if
 you are in my boat, and are interested in culling the valuable content from
 this list and weeding out the complaints, opinions, one-liners, repetitive
 beginner questions, and cutting your reading to a quarter of what it now 
 is,
 please write me offline.
 
 My idea is to share the burden among 4 like-minded, committed list readers.
 Rather than reading through each message every day, we would all take one
 week, cull the valuable content, and only forward the good stuff to the
 other three participants. We could discuss ahead of time what constitutes
 valuable content. This being an opinion, not everyone will agree on what is
 valuable, but I'm sure we can work it out.
 
 I hope three people out there will join me and give this a try, and I
 really, really hope this doesn't generate unnecessary list traffic.
 
 Warmly,
 Jeffrey Turner
