[gui-talk] Traffic on the list

[David Andrews]

As moderator I must say, you make a good point.  Further, I have been 
tolerant of the NLS discussion -- even participated in it, but it is 
really off topic for this list.  If you want to discuss digital book 
matters, there are lists that are better suited- we host one DTB-Talk

http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/dtb-talk_nfbnet.org

and there are others.


One thing I sometimes do, and should do more (smile,) is that I have 
each list filtered into its own mailbox.  If I then read a message 
that I might want to reply to, I close it, and keep reading down the 
messages.  If no one answers the question, or makes the point I want 
to make, by the time I get to the end of the messages, then I 
reply.  This practice will help in not getting 15 responses to what a 
net book is.
