Yes, ironic isn't it. I have been concerned for some time about: * the signal to noise ratio, although I have contributed to, and enjoy, some off-topic postings myself. * postings to email accounts, although I appreciate that this is done with the best of motives or accidentally (as I myself have done). * html postings which I cannot read in some circumstances, although I know that some major email applications regard html as the default. * The average post size is around 9 kB but there have been several jumps to around half a MB. I spend a small but wasteful amount of time each week pruning my email file simply so that it will fit my back up system. I know that everybody is well intentioned and nobody has the same email constraints/priorities as I do. I am hoping that the creation of a newsgroup will eliminate some of my data management issues. Perhaps I am also being a bit stroppy right now. -- Terry Simpson Human Factors Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.connected-systems.com Phone: +44 7850 511794
