Main List Problems & Solutions

[Richelle Votaw]

Well, the first step in solving a problem is admitting there is a problem, right?  So we're half way there. :)  Now, as for solving it.  I really like the idea of splitting up the list into sections.  Like the Quick questions idea.  I get emails from the main list, and if there were a quick question section that would be something easier to navigate by the list, not by email.  And would relieve a bit of the volume of the main list.  

Now, as for dividing up the main list into subcategories, I'm all for that.  For example, I'm not a shipper at all.  If it happens, this one hooks up with that one, fine, but I'm not all that interested in that sort of thing.  Now, not every post that has shipping is generally classified as shipping.  Like all the who is gay/why/why not posts.  Not my cup of tea.  So, sure, I just delete and move along.  But it sure does fill up the mailbox when it comes around.

Another thing, I have been hesitant recently to post anything remotely off the current topics, as it seems every time I have in recent times, if I get a reply at all it's almost snappish.  Not pointing fingers by any means, since I can't even think of a name off hand. :)  Just stating facts.  And I generally acknowledge when I'm saying something outlandish, but most of it's not nearly as outlandish as some theories.  So why am I saying this now?  I don't know, but it's one of the reasons I haven't been posting much on the main list.  I don't know if I'm just wasting my time typing it all out to send a well thought out post that gets to response.
