I'm in the "both" camp, and was drowning, until I discovered what the "edit inbox" function did, essentially create sub-folders of the inbox that can be inspected individually. Currently I have sub-inboxes named "People" "Acquaintances" and "Wireless" for example. This has made the inbox infinitely more useful... I'd still appreciate the provenance of a link, IE, where, which subscription(s) it came from, but my vote would definitely be to retain it. Even if there is a person method down the track, I hope inbox subscription to a userid is retained. > We've got a replacement for subscribing to people coming soon.

I would be very cautious about removing functionality, unless it is critical to do so, despite acknowledging the beta status of the service, we have developed habits around the existing facilities. > Joshua Hamish. -- http://del.icio.us/Hamish.MacEwan _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
