---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment So, Wim - As per my question addressed to Billy Ballard last week as to whether he thought this current list arrangement was the best we might hope for, your vote would be...YES? The problem that has brought this issue to the fore is not the occasional OT post. It has been the tendency for some of these topics, and subscribers, to overwhelm the "room", forcing some participants to walk out. To be fair, some of the "noise" is not ascribable to OT, but to overposting by individuals (comparable to how loud they might be in your room) , or the nature of such posts (what they have to say).
