First of all, did you read Bonn Ortloff's message? The new mailing list
has a specific purpose.
Second of all, how in the world is he going to ask people his question? =
Send mail to all 250 on this list?
Third of all, it is not rude, in my opinion, the way he said it. In fact=

it may be good. Every weekday afternoon, I come home and check my e-mail=
=2E =
I keep checking it until just before I go to bed. As an example, this
afternoon I found there were 24 new messages about Euphoria and three
others. If traffic per list could be reduced, it could relieve the load =
on
this list (and may meaningfully relieve the server at Miami University). =
I
don't know, but it is premature to say someone is rude.
I would like a list devoted to source code, etc. But I have some
reservations about this list. I mean, the lines would kind of need to be=
drawn, or its purpose would be pointless. Second, for my person benefit =
(I
suspect many others never thought of this), but when I open my mailbox I
see the list of messages. I like to retrieve the non-Euphoria messages
first, since now those are a minority. I can only see about 16 character=
s
in the from field without opening the message. My point is, I wish the n=
ew
list would be distinuishable from the old list's FROM: field, so I can pu=
t
them in separate cabinet drawers.
