In _all_ mailing lists that I take part, the signal/noise ration has shifted towards noise in an alarming rate. Even I don't bother to read e-mails during the weekends - I seldom miss something really worth discussing. I think e-mail is dying. Most people prefer posting in blogs or similar media. I, for example, prefer trolling in the Wikipedia and other sites like that. Alberto Monteiro _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
