[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Users Mailing List Traffic

The volume/traffic on this list has been getting pretty heavy. I find it hard to follow certain discussions and there are some that I am not interested in. Perhaps, we could split the list into two: One for discussing hardware (client phones and cards) and one for the software (configuration

One thing that may help: I use outlook rule to move all the messages into a folder. Then outlook has a feature, instead of sorting by date, or subject, you can sort by conservation. It then groups the messages by thread in date order, so you can sort through the emails very quickly and allows yo

That's sorta a double edged sword. I don't mind getting all the messages in one list myself cause oftentimes I'll go through and find something worth replying to from all facets, but it'd be a bit more of an annoyance having to filter through several lists to find the good stuff to reply to. Gu

Whether or not a forum is a better idea isn't really depending on the subject matter IMHO. Its success or failure depends on what the prospective participants like better. I personally cannot stand forums. That's a place where I have to expend energy to go there and manually click through stuff

I have a rule in my outlook to delete any email that in the subject it says "asterisk users mailing list traffic". Get my drift ? This topic has been around for a long time as others have mentioned and people keep replying. This useless topic alone adds several messages to my inbox daily.

I agree.  Gmail and mailing lists go together as well as Coke and ice.  I moved all my mailing lists over to Gmail and it's great.  It keeps lists out of my main email and the search is so good, you think it's Google :-) On 3/20/06, Brian Roy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 3/19/06, James Harper < [

Isn't it curious that, given the delete rule, he knows this has been discussed once again, and feels the need to add to the number of "useless" messages. In fact, since the subject keeps coming up, perhaps there really is an issue that needs to be addressed?? The only thing constant is chang
