End of whining. > Drama Mama Drama Mama, These topics (and the Binary Homeworlds conversation going on over on the Icehouse list) are appropriate to the lists they're on, and they benefit from list-wide discussion. Replying to the list seems appropriate to me for all of them. If the amount of traffic is getting in your way, you might want to consider tools to manage it at your end. I use filters to put all the list traffic into its own mailbox, where I can read it when I feel like it but don't have it distracting me from personal email which might be more important. Another option is to switch over to digest mode, where you'll get an email a day for each list you're subscribed to, containing a digest of all the messages sent to the list for that day. It cuts down the amount of traffic into your mailbox significantly, although it comes at the cost of a delay before you receive things. Hope you can figure out a way to use the discussion lists in a way that makes you comfortable. If you'd like to follow up off-list to talk about options in more detail, I'd be happy to do so. Marc
