Some Suggestions:
1. Set your email program to automatically sort your EDI-L email into a folder where you can peruse it later and not be bothered with it if you don’t want to be at the moment. 2. Set the Yahoo group to send you a digest of the day’s activities rather than an individual email every time someone posts 3. Don’t have the group email you – when you want to know what’s going on and you have time, open a browser and go to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/EDI-L/ Really, I think you’ll find this group a priceless repository of knowledge on the subject of EDI and e-Commerce, in most cases willing to help, when they don’t feel they’re being taken advantage of. But use this tool in a way that benefits you! I find that the banter sometimes benefits me by raising my spirits as much as the answers to technical questions I might ask. If people are using tags (that’s what they’re for) you should be easily able to use the group in ways that are beneficial to you: - Answer a technical question - Help find you a job - Gather opinions on a particular topic - Raise your spirits with a light-hearted comment or joke [I especially value the ones that non-EDI/e-Commerce people just wouldn’t get] - Altruistically offer the benefit of your knowledge and experience to others – like so many on this list do And, if it’s NOT of benefit to you, like Ms. Leah so aptly pointed out, you have the option of unsubscribing. That’s my hopefully not too “pointed” 2 cents.

Another solution is to ask our delightful moderator, Rich Hurd, to remove you from the list. We can, of course, moderate the tag to <UNLESS> if that will help you ;) I am uncertain how to address your concerns about a "bitch" fest in relation to this string, which seems to be a bit of silliness to enliven the days of those with time and interest to peruse it. Any time you have a question of interest or an on topic answer to provide, I assure you, you will find someone here to work with. Of course, we help faster when the request is made in a civil manner. Have a very nice day.
