It isn't that I get alot of email (I can deal with 550 messages a day) it
is the amount of non relevant stuff in that number...that makes it
aggravating.
a) as Trevor has said, Digest aren't that much good. Out of the 9 lists I
am on 2 are digests, and 5 aren't offered in Digest form.
b) I can't reduce, I'm addicted to them :-)
c) hire assistant, only if Trevor volunteers ;-)
>A list lives or dies by it's active memebers.
Quite true, I think this list took its most dramatic course when David
Deutsch was flamed and DD cut back on his postings...

Just for the record also, I'm German born. And I have dual citizenship in
the US and Germany. :) (sorry had to put this in, much to much confusion
about it)

Not quite the idea I tried to put across. I just wanted people to make the
subject line relevant to the content in the message...so if it were TD put
TD or something similar in the subject, it is quite simple.
