IMNNSHO...(that's *In my not-necessarily-so humble >opinion* 8-)...) I'm sorry, I don't quite get your drift. Why is cleaning up the clutter contributing to it? There are a number of news digests, like Current Cities and EDUCOM, that I capture useful information from. People are astounded when I tell them I monitor 15 to 20 lists at a time but because of that I know more about science, libraries, archaeology, politics, visual resources etc. than I would (or probably should) and that helps me to be a better museum professional. I started out in magazine publishing where the first thing you did in the morning was read EVERYTHING that came in through the mail. I'm too old to stop now. And I think we need MORE gopher sites so we can begin to figure out what this monster will turn into. Robbin Murphy [log in to unmask]
