DON@SU-AI@sri-unix.UUCP (06/08/83)
From: Don Woods <DON@SU-AI> Does anybody else feel the volume of SFL has been uncomfortably high lately? There used to be about one 10,000-character digest each day, which was fine. Tonight (the evening of June 7) there have been four such digests. I find that I don't have the time to grovel over 40K bytes of no doubt illuminating reading every day, so I have to throw most of it away unread. I assume the problem (if such it can be termed) is directly caused by a corresponding increase in submissions, possibly due to the multi-network readership. I am not sure what can be done about it, but I suggest that people think about it. Proposed solutions, or claims that it is not in fact a problem, etc., should NOT be sent to the digest, since that would only exacerbate the problem; send serious suggestions to SF-Lovers-Request, send other relevant comments to me, and send flames to the bit-bucket. -- Don.
