I did check the list out back then in those days when we had 400 messages a day, and decided it was not for me. I only returned when I found it had abated to a more manageable volume. Maybe some of us have conlanging as their only hobby, but when you have some 30 other lists to attend to, that kind of traffic is just forbidding. Some filtering could be done of course, and honestly I don't find most of the discussion here very interesting. But pretty often threads drift from dull to rather more vivid territories without any warning whatsoever, so you risk missing out on some of the gems that appear now and then too. Anyway, time is a precious commodity and growing more precious, so I am giving some priority to measures for spending less of it in my e- mail system. Will be watching developments... LEF
