Subject: [peirce-l] Please Have Mercy on Pierce-L Digest Subscribers


I realize that most Pierce-L subscribers never see the  Pierce-L Digest, so why 
should they care that it is probably one of the greatest abominations on the 
internet?

Pierce-L is the only discussion list that I know of in which HTML seems to be 
encouraged and attachments are not automatically deleted from incoming posts.

I wonder if there are any subscribers, other than myself, who are stupid enough 
to subscribe to the gibberish-loaded Digest [see APPENDIX for a brief sample]?

If so, IMHO, they should be advised to:

(a) immediately cancel their subscription to the Digest, and

(b) monitor Pierce-L by means of the Backup Archive 
<http://www.mail-archive.com/peirce-l%40lyris.ttu.edu/>.

On the Backup Archive the HTML gibberish and the interminable pages 
of code are translated into English, even if the senseless 
reply-button pushing repeats of previous already archived posts 
persist.
