What is frustrating about this list is the number of inane and one-line
messages. You can't necessarily use the archives because you can't tell
which messages contribute to the topic as opposed to those that are quibbles
or me-toos. Secondly, occasionally people still reply to a message while
hijacking the subject line.
I would really love to find a way to cull through the muck as Jeff suggests.

Threaded displays of messages are very very helpful in this regard. One
press of a key or double-tap can delete a hundred messages on a topic that
is not relevant to you.

You can also set the list to no mail and also look at the archive. I do
that with several list that I occasionally post to.

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.

Subject: Seeking collaborators on efficient VIPhone list reading
Hello List Members,
This list is an extremely valuable asset, and I thank the owners,
moderators, contributors and readers that make it work. 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.
Warmly,
Jeffrey Turner
