I would like to trow an idea to the whole list: To convert it into a Newsgroup.
I am a newcomer here and I DO find it very hard to read and follow up on the
subjects because the way it is listed and structured (or lack of it). Sometimes
I am interested in the message-before-the-last and I have to keep scrooling
through the wole thing (and being exposed to all) till I get there. With a news
reader one can KILL an entire thread and discard it, and pick only the postings
one is intereted at and would make life a lot easier ...
A malinling list is ideal for something that has a low volume of one to five
messages a week (one example) but NOT for such a high-volume list like this
one. We could even organize things in a way that the ones that prefer to read
it as a mailing-list could continue as such, with the newsgroup running in
parallel and with the same contents.
What do you think of it ???????
