We seem to have hit a bit of a hot spot on messages. Right now we have over 12,000 messages waiting to be sent.
While this is a good thing in one way, it creates a serious issue in other ways. Firstly, many of you are just "replying" blindly. This means you hit reply, type your one sentence/paragraph and then hit send. What happens is our server gets your one sentence message and then has to spend resources posting the additional 5-10 paragraphs of quoted material. This is a huge burden as a 10k message can easily become a 30k message. Additionally we are seeing 2+ digests being sent each day. If there are 50 pages in the digest, then maybe there are 2-3 pages of new content. The rest is quotes from previous messages. PLEASE, Please, please...trim your messages. If all you have to add is an "Amen" or "I agree", then resist the urge to send this to the ENTIRE list. Send the "I agree" message to the individual and *not* to the 2500 members of this list. Your help in this matter would be much appreciated.
