I gotta stick my 2cents in...sorry: I don't know how you guys read this
list but I read it by subject.  If the subject appeals, I read it.  If it
don't, I delete it unread.  I subscribe to LM_Net, Kidsphere, Edudeaf,
VOCserve, ECEOL, and a couple others I can't remember.  My mailbox can
have 600 messages.  Sometimes I feel overwhelmed but mostly I am
comfortable.  A topic that a neophyte librarian needs to discuss might
not appeal to me...that's what the d key is for...deleting.  Messages
aren't like telephones ringing...you don't _have to_ pick up the phone!

I know I might be missing some really neat stuff because some people
don't write subjects in an appealing way...but this is the only way I can
get thru the mess of mail.

I think this is a survival skill for the next millenium...yeah.

anyway, just IMNSHO...
