As for mail volume, let me add another email to the volume on the topic! I, too, was surprised at the volume...but, using Outlook, like many others, I quickly set up a folder and "rule" to automatically move emails from this list to the folder, and out of my inbox. That way they don't clog up my inbox, and I can go through all of the emails at my leisure when I need a Dragaera fix. This is working great for me, just my two cents....thanks, Jeff Jeff Harrison 503.645.0595 -----Original Message----- From: David Dyer-Bennet [mailto:dd-b at dd-b.net] Sent: Saturday, June 08, 2002 1:07 PM To: dragaera at dragaera.info Subject: Re: New Lists?

The RPG discussion, if it continues and gets big, seems a good candidate (or moving to their own web board if preferred). The "read this together" discussion also makes good sense -- having a private "room" to have that discussion in seems like a net win. Mentioning on the main list each time you're about to start something would be sensible too, if split off. A web board is unlikely; we discussed that quite a bit before launching this list. There *is* a nice threaded indexed archive of this mailing list on the web, though. Adding a mechanism to post to the mailing list from that might happen (but is *not* technically simple; I'd have to delve into the ezmlm-cgi code pretty seriously).
