Jerome Fine replies: When the ratio of comments on spam to the actual spam is less than 1:1, then I will start to consider if I should take Sellam's comments seriously. As long as the number of comments on spam is even equal to the number of spam, then it can't be that significant a problem. As is is, the ratio is at least 10:1, so I don't think anyone can be suffering that much. If we all were so concerned, we would just hit the DELETE key and stop making comments. PERIOD. I certainly would not want Sellam to take over - at least Jay takes the attitude that all changes should be made slowly. Plus, I have yet to see just how many e-mails make it to the list from off-list sources. If there ever is any action needed, I would want that to at least be the first step. Just add the four characters [OL] at the start of every message from off the list. That will provide some measure of how often it happens. It would also determine just how many messages some one would need to monitor if a counter was kept. If it is fewer than 10 a week, it would not be much of a job. Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine
