I think you are missing the point. Its not disc space, but the sheer
volume of mail to read and sort through on many lists. This is
particulary so when the person posts is not subscribed and generates a
thread they never read!
Please end your campaign for control of other people's email, and stop
this annoying ranting.
Good manners and etiquette annoying? I didn't detect too much ranting,
just a pretty reasonable request to try and reduce traffic.
Ian - You may be missing the point. The original poster is asking that
traffic on the list be shortened and copies to unsubscribed posters be
eliminated. Chad got annoyed at that and considered the whiny post
annoying and a rant. So did I. The original post had *nothing* to do
with good manners and etiquette. It was a complaint against a commonly
accepted practice in the OOo lists for dealing with unsubscribed list
posters.
It is a never-ending quest to find an effective way to communicate with
the great masses of unsubscribed posters.
I use news.gmane.org for reading and posting to general lists. It is a
pretty good choice, because users-list traffic is so heavy, I cant stand
it so or so.
News is a good thing - I look the headers, read interesting messages and
mark all others 'as read'
