In terms of mail filtering, using an email subscription with POP access (like Gmail) lets you use the filtering capabilities of an email client, which may be superior to whatever Yahoo Mail has to offer. As for me, I don't have the time or patience to deal with FFL management beyond what I'm doing right now. My beloved has been in poor health for the past year, and my days are filled with her pain and discomfort. She is so dependent on me being in Fairfield that I haven't traveled east to see my 87 year old father since last September, and I don't know if I'll ever see him again. And, now, my own low-grade infection, that had been kept well in check for 11+ years, is staging a major comeback. There is simply enough stress and unpleasantness in my own life that I refuse to tackle the inane bullshit that goes on here. Whoa, so sorry to hear all of this. Absolutely forget FFL. It is a drop of spit in the ocean. My sincere wishes that life lightens up for you and that all of these things occurring at once will result in something more positive later. However, in the meantime I can only imagine the pressure and the concern and the real pain you are experiencing. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <anartaxius@...> wrote : I have been spending my time fiddling with the Yahoo e-mail sort rules. Previously I have only posted directly into FFL. I have not quite got it right yet, but I have got the FFL individual e-mails sorting into three separate folders FFL-fluff; FFL-maybe; and FFL-read. I have just not quite figured out how the API interprets the filters command 'SENDER contains...' As soon as I get it right, assuming it works, I will resume posting, having filtered out most of the crap e-mails. Already all of Richard's e-mails are going into the FFL-fluff folder and not appearing in the main In-box or the read folder! If a new poster shows up, it will appear in the main In-box. This seemed better to me than trying to just block certain posters, just in case something interesting shows up. It just takes time to set up all the individual sort rules. Now that I have Richard's posts out of the way, I can work on the other insubstantial posters. I would vote to have Richard removed from FFL. With the old system of 50 posts a week, Alex had to deal with over posting every week. I suppose he would mind if he had to do that, say, every three months. That is, remove someone for posting excessively for a period of a quarter of a year, or maybe longer. That would not take too much extra effort.
