Im starting to think that if there were a way to limit posts to the IDM list to about, say 5 or 6 a day PER PERSON - that might be a good idea. I dont mean to be an arse but like 30 of the posts yesterday (mostly one-liners) were from only a couple people. Anybody else with me on this or am I coming across too harsh? Ok, maybe im being an arse. Here, Ill take the wind out of my attacker's sails: "Use the delete key, fool!" more coffee, more coffee.... ernie Ernesto Ikerd, (817) 763-4795 Company Graphics, Dept 17, MZ-1156 Lockheed Martin Tactical Aircraft Systems Fort Worth, Texas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I love this idea theoretically because if I neglect my mail for a day or so, my Inbox swells to 300+ messages. Many of these messages I need. Knowing what CDs and Vinyl people have on their desk...that's debatable. However, the IDM list is like international politics- essentially anarchic. There are no superordinate rules and policices we abide by except common sense and our mutual understanding to be nice to one another. So, after all that, like you said: I'll just have to deal with spending 1 hour a day on e-mail and have an extremely hot delete button. ...The sacrifices we make in pursuit of IDM John ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

So true. That previous thread about the mail-order man John was so caustic that it made me sick to see anybody call anyone a wretched person. That's so mean spirited and accomplishes nothing. ...I can always count on you to keep me on my toes, Kelley. You should proofread my papers for argumentative integrity! :) ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
