A better way to manage discussions on email lists would be to make sure the discussions stay on the original topic: for instance, you would probably be better off starting a new topic with the subject "too many emails!" to discuss this rather than appending it to the end of a thread about member incentives. This way, topics that disinterest you can be ignored or deleted from your inbox.

Still the same amount of reading though, for that I agree with the others, its just how they work. -Jim On 01/04/2013 06:05 AM, Ryan Rix wrote: On Fri 4 January 2013 05:44:59 [1][email protected] wrote: \¥/ *So we'll have to work on that.

Mailing lists end up in folders (or labels in GMail parlance) for people who deal with email like they should be. Then you just peruse the folder at your leasure. r _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [2][email protected][3]http://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [4][email protected] [5]http://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss References 1. mailto:[email protected] 2. mailto:[email protected] 3. http://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss 4. mailto:[email protected] 5. http://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
