I've been on the mailing list for several months now and find this club to 
be fun and worthwhile.  It's incredible how active it is which is good since 
you get a lot of feedback and bad because lots of the info doesn't always 
pertain to you.  Lately, I've been getting 75-125 messages a day which is 
becoming unmanageable!  I'm sure that others are having the same problem.
     
I'd like to propose the following to facilitate the enjoyment and usefulness 
of the club.
     
1.  When replying to someone, consider whether you should reply directly to 
that person or the group as a whole.
     
2.  If you find someone has sent a reply to the group instead of directly to 
the originator which adds no value to you and/or is idle chatter, send an 
email directly to that person informing them of your lack of interest in 
their content.
     
     
By using our judgement in the above, our club will grow both in the number 
of subscribers and in utility.
     
Please let me know whether how you all feel about this.  If most of you 
concur, maybe these suggestions could be emailed to every new member when 
they sign up.
     
Regards,
glenn
