In my Exchange-Outlook mailbox, I set up a simple rule to send all of
the list email to its own folder. Keeps it out of my In Box folder, so
I only pay it any mind when I read or clean it out. Seldom a bother.
Thank you,

Exchange-Outlook? EEEK!
(just kidding)
cguys mail goes to my cguys folder in Thunderbird. It's safely there to
read when I am not doing things in the physical world. You know, that

I have many filters in my office email and several folders to organize
it. I get MOM alerts for several dozen MSW servers. When they start
screwing up, it often generates thousands of alerts. I get various
other notifications as well, so have folders so I know what is going on
without wading
As Tom commented ... he posted a Windows question recently and got no
responses. Frequently now I post a tech question and get one or two
replies and sometimes none.
I don't remember exactly what Tom's question was, but I do remember that it
wasn't anything I'd seen, and that I didn't know
I did some research on Tom's question...not vast amounts, but I poked around
and couldn't find an answer. At that point I decide, do I post an 'I don't
know' or nothing at all. I went with nothing at all thinking someone else
may know. The question itself was very odd, I wasn't even sure where

It seems CGUYS is morphing to a different use and different users...

I think that one of the reasons that people get sidetracked so much, aside

concentrate on solving technical issues. However. there's a huge overlap
of technical, community, government, politics and legislative issues, so
Why, for example, was a link to a picture of a crashed Xbox posted?
What was the point?
This followed up on a long thread about XBox quality and the ring of
death. MS (or M$) had to repair lots of XBoxes for free and extend their
warrenties. That screen shot is the latest example of such

I thought I told you to stop doing this. Microsoft is to be treated with
reverence, and, if you continue in this manner, I am going to turn this car

Don't know what the solution is.
The more general discussions are useful too and I learn from them. If you
want folks around to answere the fix-it questions you need to have
something else too so they keep reading the list.
I resolve to ignore posts or blow the whistle when things get out of

One can learn from anything but one does not necessarily have the time
to do so. The reason I set up filters is because I do not have the
time and attention for such
