First, this is a fairly new mailing list. Second, if a topic has been done to death, then presumably you won't get many replies, so it will quickly die off anyway without seriously annoying anyone. Third, as long as threads have good Subject headers, people who aren't interested can skip stuff they're not interested it. > So, if there are any topics or questions that people who have been > here a while would specifically NOT like to see, please let me know, > either on or offlist?

Throw the topics out one at a time instead of simultaneously. Once one discussion and its spawn die down, then bring out the next topic. - tky
