Thank-you for posting this reminder to all. (Especially the mention
of the Off-topic list at Starion.)
Frankly speaking, I am getting tired of wading through the hundreds
of messages on this list of which bear little new information or
actual help.
Many people frequently say the same thing over and over and are
starting to sound like a "Broken Record".
What bothers *me* is that, occasionally, there is something of
importance I might be missing because it is nested in 50 "me too"
messages of a boring thread.
Oh, well. I guess I'll either have to quit the list or read
everything; 192 still to go for today. Sigh.
This hits home for me because I just quit another list that had
become 99% discussion.
Maybe it's time the REALsoftware lists became a forum, something akin
to http://forums.applenova.com.
