I belong to (far too) many lists on yahoogroups and elsewhere. Once
the list gets to a certain size, the moderators usually set down
some "large list" rules like not responding to a post with one
word "Exactly!" or "Me, too!" etc... For those who might read digest
mode, its extrememly difficult to wade through dozens of posts where
90% is quoted material from another lister and 10% is original
thought.
THis list generates more volume than a list I belong to with 2500
other people.
Just thinking out loud...
