Considering that I spend 95% of my time lurking, my solution might apply to so many complainers - just go to your list settings and set them to read on the -L list without ANY email. Since I registered using my private rather than employment email address in order to be able to participate from home (unlike at least *one* of my fellow employees - *grin*), this serves the dual purpose of letting me scan the index for OTs of possible interest (and since I can't resist posts authored by old friends, there is generally something of interest in nearly all of the OTs), and keeping my home email from detonating through over-use. I suggest that this method might serve to redirect some obvious tensions to more productive and constructive activities. * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
