I'm only on two other lists. One, Dendarii-L (Lois Bujold) sets replies to the list. It is very busy, frequently 200 mesages a day. The other, Searoom-L, sets replies to the individual sender. I have as much trouble there as I do here, but with far fewer messages. One thing both of those lists do that this one might consider, is that a bracketed ID of the list is added to each subject line (after the "Re:" if there is one). So I can filter for [LMB] or for [Searoom], and get them sorted out and lined up. Maybe this list could add [SKZB] to the subject line, as I have done on this message. -- Regards, Pete pgranzeau at cox.net
