RE: sublists



I agree with you Javad, I don't particularly mind deleting messages either.

My concern however, and the concern of other listers I think, is that the
message volume and time spent deleting irrelevant messages is sending people
away from the q-list.  They're leaving the q-list and creating/subing to
spin-off lists in large part due to the traffic, and this means we're losing
valuable members and their input.  Perhaps that's just reality.  But if
there is a better way to organize the list that would retain listers and
better accommodate the majority, I think it's worth considering.

 I suspect I'm not the only person who does this.  I'm certain that some of
 those messages contain useful information that pertain to my car, but
 without reading every post, there's simply no way to know >>

	I experience the same thing, but for the 5 minutes that it takes me
to delete, it is totally worth it.  Even though I may be too busy at times
to
read them, other times I do have time and enjoy having them there to read.
There is always the digest also.  Frankly, I dont see what the big deal is
with deleting some messages when you dont have the time to read them...
