Hubbard"; On 08-Oct-97 you wrote: I think that any measure you come up with will be like the speed limit laws: It will be somewhat effective at first and as time goes by, less and less so. As anecomer myself, I can testify that, yes, I have consumed an inordinate amount of time of many, but I still hope i can return the investment one day :-) I also see something else; Many times a question will trigger a discussion that end up way out (compared to the original subject). This is good, I think, but increases the volume on the lists. If you are to categorize access, how will you do that? Will you restrict some? Based on what criteria? I think you should chalk this issue up to ``cost of doing busines''. BTW, the {Open,Net} lists are much quiter, or am I wrong? --- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Atlas Telecom Senior Architect 14355 SW Allen Blvd., Suite 130 Beaverton OR 97005 Shimon@i-Connect.Net Voice: 503.799.2313
