You are right.
It is nuts.
Whenever I used 'filmscanners' in a thread subject, it has been because in
this list one can not be sure these days that a mail really is about film
scanners. But I will leave it out now, to save precious bandwidth and to
comfort you. But I'll still consume some extra bandwidth by sending this
reply to the filmscanner list i.s.o. you. I do this because I also like to
signal, just like many others have done, that I don't like to have so many
off-topic threads.
Have a nice weekend,
Jerry
BTW.
All my filmscanner mail is redirected to one folder. I think one filter rule
should be enough for one mailing list. I am not willing to put more time in
managing inbox rules and kill files and such. Perhaps, to comfort you I will
add an inbox rule that scans for 'OT', 'off-topic' or 'off-thread' and let
matching mails go to e.g. the 'deleted items' folder. No need to add
filmscanner then, if other people use 'OT' whenever appropriate.
