[net.micro.cpm] crowded mailboxes edl@Sri-Tsc.ARPA

From:  Robert L. Krawitz <ZZZ.RLK%MIT-OZ@MIT-MC.ARPA>

I don't have your particular problem, but my mailbox does fill up
awfully fast.  Most of the stuff on here is good, but occasionally (like
last week) it partially degenerates into flaming, which is a waste of
time and disk space.  So, two requests:

1)  No flaming.  If someone is screwing up, we don't all need to know.

2)  If you're replying to a specific, system-dependent question of
someone else's, please if at all possible reply only to that person.  My
mailbox is full of specifics that aren't going to help anyone without a
specific configuration.  I'm not saying that this is true of everyone,
because most of the stuff on here can be useful to many people, but just
keep this in mind.

Even though they are long, I like the lists of software.  Do archives,
or at least pointers to content of archives, exist anywhere on the
arpanet?

				Thanks,
				Robert
