I too am almost overwhelmed by the volume of mail on this list. I just
joined, but now I'm wondering if I made a mistake because it takes up way
too much time - even if I just delete most of it without reading.
What about splitting the list into interest areas? Here are some
suggestions:
Creating interest areas has worked very well for the HTML Writers Guild
mailing list. If I wanted to, I could receive everything. But that's way
too much info for me, so I've signed up for two specific areas of
interest. Can we please have the same option?
