coping w/this list (was Re: [Digital BW] Re: Trim your posts please!)

2005-09-23 by Sam McCandless

I agree with Steve. Now that I've been on the list a while, I find 
even relatively long lists of new-to-me posts easy to deal with 
quickly, and only partly because, while at first I was curious about 
everything but am now more focused. One thing I learned when I was at 
least skimming each post, is that what's on the subject line becomes 
misleading as the thread drifts, or is "hijacked", as it grows. When 
I have time, I still sometimes open every post, although without even 
skimming all of each one.
