Generally, I would have to agree.  I've been known to get "testy" from time
to time as we get into "ovloV sucks" and "VW RULEZZZZ  D0000DZzz" or when
people forget the "Subject" lines do have a purpose...so I can only imagine
how much fun it would have if we doubled our readership.

While I would never want to restrict access to this group or withold it's
existence, I am fairly happy with it the way it is.  As of right now, I
would almost have to say "no"...but read on...

Can the list be structured to handle the volume in a manageable way?
Should the list be broken into lists by model and an "all-audi's" list for
those who can handle the message load?  Not a suggestion, but just an
idea...

I have "filters" and may start setting them up if the load gets higher (but
what about those who don't?).
