[s-cars] Isn't there a better way...

[Kirby Smith]

In order to maintain the "S-car family" aspect of the email list, which
has been touted here as the principal advantage of email over forum
mode, I believe it necessary for me to visually scan every email to
bathe in the ambiance of the listers' personalities.  That doesn't keep
me from deleting them after a second, however, if the content is limited
to irrelevant chatter.
