Personally, I appreciate the breadth of the topics discussed here. While this is an active list, it is not as active as some. One key to effective use of an active list is the careful choice of subject during the composition of any message. Busy readers can then make the choice of wholesale deletion of messages which they believe are not of interest to them prior to browsing through the incoming mail. If we keep courtesy to readers in mind while we compose subjects to our messages, much of the problem may be eliminated.
