I agree too. Nowadays I delete 950f all list messages without
opening them and I am sure the majority of the list members will do
the same (which means you had better choose a very appropriate subject
line for your posting!!)
The interesting (or promising) 5% takes enough time to be read and
sometimes replied to - but even this small fraction gives me enough
pleasure as I am expecting from the list.
But I realize that only people with a permanent Internet connection
will talk this easily. It is really different when you have to pay for
your connection per minute - as many people here in Europe have to.
All spam, suv and messages like this one will have to be paid for,
even when being deleted immediately
Frank.
