So why not unsubscribe from the list and simply use the archives to read your 10 messages of interest?
I did just this before joining the list when I was in the market for a new earpiece. I used the archives to review all previous messages regarding earpieces. It was actually kinda cool since all threads had already been exhausted, so there was no waiting on subsequent posts. Most of my questions had already been asked by others, so the archive turned out to be a great resource for me. The archive is also easy to use. The only problem is that you won't be able to ask specific questions relating to a current on-going issue, but this will also not be the case with what you're proposing.

It has been my primary tool for learning how to use my iPhone, which I wouldn't dream of living without at this point in my life. However, no matter how well moderated the list is, there are inevitably messages filling the list I don't care about. In fact, I'd say on a normal day, no more than 10 messages peak my interest. This message, for example, is not likely to interest many people, but, if you are in my boat, and are interested in culling the valuable content from this list and weeding out the complaints, opinions, one-liners, repetitive beginner questions, and cutting your reading to a quarter of what it now is, please write me offline. My idea is to share the burden among 4 like-minded, committed list readers. Rather than reading through each message every day, we would all take one week, cull the valuable content, and only forward the good stuff to the other three participants. We could discuss ahead of time what constitutes valuable content. This being an opinion, not everyone will agree on what is valuable, but I'm sure we can work it out. I hope three people out there will join me and give this a try, and I really, really hope this doesn't generate unnecessary list traffic.
