I really think that the powers that be should consider the newsgroup idea.
I have to comment. Many on this list believe strongly in privacy. This implies that no one admits to being a PTB (power that be). Others are anarchists and don't believe in PTB. And occasional person wants to be in charge of the anarchy movement. Options include: 1. get a rational mail reader (nupop, eudora, etc.) and a rational vendor (netcom, digex, world, well, etc.) and read at your leisure. 2. convert it locally to a local newgroup. then use rn, tin, etc. with kill files. 3. unsubscribe. 4. alternate plan X. I have no problem with the volume. The S/N ratio could be better, but so could my bank account.
