GatorMail-Q This list
Just to throw in my two cents:
1) If the list goes to a News feed, it will lose me. News doesn't work at
this site. Of course, losing me will help the volume problem all by itself
:-).
2) One thing I don't understand, is why a news group is less work than a
list. Is it because a newsgroup doesn't "belong" to anybody, so there's no
listowner who has to read all the posts?
3) Back in the "bad old days" when news used to work around here, I was
subscribed to "rec.motorcycles". The volume was FAR higher than B-C, and the
S/N ratio FAR lower. I'd come in on Monday, crank up "rn", and it would
cheerfully tell me that I had 650 unread messages! I don't know how much of
this was due to the medium, and how much due to the subject matter and the
particular people who were subscribed.

OBCC: The State of California sure does legislate beautiful engine blocks!
( Huh? )
Well, I called the parts store about some engine enamel: "We don't have the
good stuff anymore, all we have is this water-based crap. It's not as
heat-resistant as the old stuff". Urgh. So I cranked up the compressor,
stoked up the spray gun, and sprayed my TR2's block black Imron. Beautiful. I
just hope the engine doesn't look so much better than the compartment it's
going into, that I catch "boatwright's disease" :-)
