What if you... heaven forbid... just deleted the messages you didnt want to read form your inbox? I think the CT thread is extremely valuable. If you want to have the argument of "I'm so important, I read soo many blogs / email everyday I cant spare the split second it takes me to read the topic". Well my response is "Unsubscribe".
Honestly, if you dont want to read the message, don't read it, and boot the thread form your inbox. Making general rules to boot threads just will not work with the large audience. So manage it on your own. -Adam On Mar 31, 2005 11:13 PM, Paul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It seems that frequently the threads with the longest lives on this list are > the ones that have nothing to do with development per se - the one about > ChrystalTech is an example still fresh in our inboxes.
