Hi List,

I hate to keep this thread alive for too long, but if one learns how to set 
rules and filters, one can sift through a huge amount of mail every day in a 
relatively short time.

I subscribe to 11 lists and received between 300 and 400 messages a day.  If 
I don't check mail for over 24 hours, I can usually breeze through them in 
about half an hour or so.

Brian -

I also ran a dial-up account on this and many other lists for years and
never had a problem. Please don't claim that you pay by the message or by
the amount of time you're connected--those kinds of limitations went out
with the XTAL-controlled Novice rig.

Reminiscing is one of the things hams do best and if you can't deal with
that, maybe you should take up a more congenial hobby like needlepoint or
collecting cigar bands.

Attention all list cops.  Please, pray tell, what we are, and are not,
allowed to talk about on a ham radio list for the blind?  Maybe we should
talk about CB radio.  And what does dial up have to do about it all anyhow?
I ran dial up on this list for many years and it never bothered me how much
mail I got and that was back in the days I ran 5 mailing lists of my own and
plunged through 400 emails a day and all on dial up, for crying out loud.
You think I care if you are about to leave the list?  Don't let the door hit
you in the butt on the way out.  That isn't a threat, by the way, that you
are going to leave.  Shoot, I never knew you were even here in the first
place.  Come back when you have given up dial up and aren't afraid of email
traffic.  Wait  just a minute.  Your email address says you are using
comcast for your internet provider.  That isn't dial up service.  Oh, I get
it.  You are watching out for those who do have dial up.  Pardon me.  It is
wonderful to hear of how much cable users care for those poor dial up folk.
And to think I was considering to drop back down to DSL to save money.
Maybe I should just drop all the way back to dial up.  That way I know
someone really cares for me personally.  On second thought, I'll just unsub
from the list and make it easier on you.

Phil.
