RE: Regarding the splitting up of mailing lists

[Brenda Smith <BSmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought the bulletin board idea was excellent!  I would like a place I
can go *or at least a place that I can start at* for some answers to
basic questions.  *Newbie here*  Since I have joined the list, I enjoy
seeing the various topics and discussions raised.  Granted, most of
which are far over my head currently, I have taken some of the messages
and done a bit of archiving of various addys and things I think will be
useful and deposited them in a seperate hotmail account so I have them
for my own reference.  

I kinda think since we haven't heard but from a handful of people on
this, *the problem of excess mail* that _maybe_ this is not a big
concern for most subscribers to the mailing list.  *either that, or they
are deleting the mail unopened*  Granted, I don't know the size of the
mailing list, but I would think that it is lots more than the people who
have responed.  Is it worth us trying to do some sort of polling of the
mailing list to get a concensus?  *Send out a message with a subject
line like "PLEASE RESPOND"* 

Just some thoughts.  Thanks for reading
~Brenda
