[tslug] Re: SUGGESTION TO ALL LINUX CLUB MEMBERS

Do yourself a favor and filter the group off into a folder.  The reason that we 
switched to an e-mail based format is that people are more likely to interact.  If you 
need help setting up procmail, let us know.

 Why don't we just set up a message board in leu of this user's list.  
 Then these unrelated conversations would at least be organized into a 
 logical fashion.
 
 Having twenty something unrelated Linux messages all pop up at once 
 really sucks.

He's right there.  People were much more likely to interact on
a mailing list.  We used to have a newsgroup, but it's only good
if people check it.  This way stuff comes to you.

Historically even the mailing list has not meen so well-used.  It
generally has bursts (like now at the beginning of a semester)
and fades until it is mostly announcements of the next meeting.

At least it is very easy to filter the traffic since all posts
have [tslug] in the subject line.  I see you are sending you mail
from Campus Pipeline.  In the mail window, you should create a
new folder for tslug mail, then choose Options-Filters-Create
Filter.  Set Subject begins with: [tslug] to go into your new
folder.

That should make things much more manageable.
