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

2006-06-17 Thread Joseph Ransdell 
I don't know the solution off-hand, Richard.  Sometimes we have to do 
graphics and when we have some collaborative scholarship going I am not 
going to disturb that by worrying about the digest, which gets little use. 
Another platform than lyris is one answer -- it is , to be sure, an 
abomination of a listserver (though not an abomination of my making) -- but 
that involves a move to another listserver provider, which is going to be 
happening "one of these days".  There may be other possibilities.

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
.

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.

Gary R., Robert, Bernard, Wilfred, Claudio, List,

I thought I'd try to the branching style chart of Peirce's ten-adic =
division of sign parameters. (These parameters are not mutually =
independent). I supposed that the same formal relations applied as with =
the main three trichotomies of parameters (qualisign/sinsign/legisign, =
icon/index/symbol, and rheme/dicisign/argument).
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Why don't you configure your email program to read all messages as plain text?
