OK people. Something needs to be done about the amount of mail this net produces. I don't have time, and I don't think I'm unique about this, to go through two dozen mail messages every morning. I propose we limit postings to original questions and follow ups. Any replys should be sent to the person directly who can summarize when things have run their course. I would hate to have to drop from the network. Every so often some infomation comes along that is useful (to me anyway), but I'll have to if it stays in its present form.

I think you better leave. This net has been like this since its inception. There are some articles that one type of person will respond to and then those that you like. What interests you will not probably interest anyone else, etc. Sending mail is harder than posting a followup. The net allows you to say your piece and move on. If I send mail then I'd probably be less spontanious. Again if you don't like the net, your free to leave. I can't believe anyone would suggest that we discuss something by sending mail back and forth. Are you a "manager"?
