BlackBerry de movistar, allí donde estés está tu oficin@ -----Original Message----- From: Jerry LR Chandler <jerry_lr_chand...@me.com> Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2014 10:37:32 To: Pedro C. Marijuan<pcmarijuan.i...@aragon.es> Subject: FIS, Weekly posting frequency.
Pedro: Just a small suggestion about the rules for posting to the FIS list serve. Personally, I find the current constraint of two posts per week is so restrictive that it makes a conversation very difficult. It necessitates long delays, during which time, one looses interest in the topic. (We are flooded by a plethora of new ideas!) I feel that the value of the list would be enhanced by permitting three or even four posts per week. I would suggest that you consult with other members about this issue. You may post this message to the list serve if you wish. Cheers Jerry On Nov 3, 2014, at 5:09 AM, Pedro C.
