A number of folks appear to be bailing from this list in sheer despair at the volume of mail that's been coming through. I've seen this happen on a number of lists over some years on the internet. There are better ways of handling it. The way I like is to have lots of disk space, and just let the support mail pile up in a folder of its own. Occasionally I'll read it all for a few days, to get a feeling for what sorts of problems people are running into, but then I get overwhelmed and just let it slide. That being said, when I have a problem, the first thing I do is a text search through the Support mailbox. Frequently, I remember seeing something like my problem show up before, and just have to find the discussion. Another way is to go to the web site listed at the bottom of every Support email, and set your preference to "no mail." You remain affiliated, but stop getting mail. You can post and view mail through the web site and keep it all off of your home machine. Currently there is an archive there back to 12/31/2000--I don't know if there's a 3-month cutoff or if that's just a starting point.
