I got the humor in your post alright, but we had a wise slogan in the old
country;
HUMOR always includes more than half of serious basis, so I responded to
THAT part.

Thanks John, I appreciate your willingness to help.  However, my email
was a mild (and perhaps altogether ineffective) attempt at humor
poking fun at the amount list traffic devoted to unproductive arguing
on certain topics.

No worries.

Jonathan,
I am not the one helping you: I am a computer illitterate and use the
Internet (since 1988) on a "trial and error" basis. On another list
(MindBrain) the posts came in a compact format: first the titles with
authors, then the "texts" - including all existing preliminaries - not only
out of handling possibilities, but also too long resulting a frequent
"truncation" where one would have liked to read on.
I asked the moderator to restrict the posts to the preliminaries
IMMEDIATELYY addressed in the post - what he did. Now the posts are shorter
and ready to be read in full.
Maybe you could ask professor Wei Dai... (he showed much civility in the
past when members had difficulties using his list).

Help with mailing list configuration

2012-01-31 Thread Johnathan Corgan
I have a filter set in my mail software such that any Everything List
thread that has more than 20% of the comments by Craig Weinberg gets
put into a special folder.  I find this helps me to prioritize my
reading.

It's really working well!  But something must be wrong, as I haven't
seen any other threads come through in a long time.

Someone please help me debug my settings.
