The thing is, people on the list are coming from a few different places.
The newsgroup reading people are free to click on a title or not, with
minimal hassle. The 14.4K modem people receiving individual listserve
posts have to sit and wait while every post laboriously makes its way to
their machine, whether they want to see it or not. And the rest of us,
with either T1 connections, digest listserve mode, what have you are
somewhere in between. So, the amount of investment in each post varying
widely, so varies the amount of annoyance with a particular post in
which the individual subscriber may not be interested.
Having said all that, please stop with the AF posts, I find them not
useful and annoying. :-)
