How funny, there was a discussion some time ago but inverted, I remember
that was Pascal asking "Am I the only european here ?"
About the amount of mail, I do not like it too. I tried receiving digests
only, but in practice, it is impossible (i.e. difficult and unhandy) to
respond, to follow a single discution, so not so useful. I would prefer
instead of the mailing list a system "� la UBB", where a topic is clearly a
topic, not mails that cross each other. A second point why I would prefer
this is that I can check it whenever I want, not receiving lots of email.
If there is a topic I don't like, I do not have to receive (and delete) all
the responses to it. A last point would be the amount of mail that is
beeing sent. I surely think that a UBB-like system is more bandwidth-and
resource-savy, but I may be wrong. But of course, the annouce list is
surely better in a mailing-list form.
However, maybe for some of the receipients, a mail is handyier at work. It
easyier to justify "I'm reading my mail" than "I'm on the web, but on a
forum"...
So I raised a discussion that goes much more far than "Am I the only one
that wakes up with a full mailbox writtent by some europeans ?", but it is
maybe worth discussing
