sure multiple postings get annoying
like hans for example (no offense man) with replies to everything
ppl should also try to cut down the messages and not send the whole 4k to
reply in a line (and those damn signatures)
but the list needs to be alive
if u feel u must moderate well then go ahead but it will probably be a loss
if u feel the need to unsuscribe feel free to
these things have all been said b4 who knows how many times in every
mailing list that exists
even breaking the lists in two - on and off topic
so that ppl with common interests can also talk about other things (like
experiences)
both lists would die though
have fun everybody

Not desiring to continue the thread, but:
This is not IRC, it is a mailing list. There is no need to use the
silly little abbreviations designed to "speed up" on-line chat and
the typing of same. Use English or as close an approximation as you
can. Capital letters help as well as punctuation -- a carriage return
is not expected to be the end of a sentence, especially when the next
line starts in lower case. My best estimate is that the quoted message
took me at least three times as long to parse as it should have.
