Yes, it's a sensible request, but the one person who could change a simple listserv configuration file thinks doing so is unhip and enables morons. After all, Yahoo does this, and we all know that the unwashed have ruined the internet by trying to make it too EASY. Really it's the only thing I don't like about this list. The signal to noise ratio is fairly low, people are generally kind and helpful, trolls are shown the door fairly quickly, and there is lots of information passed around about all things looping related. I know fully well how to use mail filters and do use them for some purposes, but I prefer for all of my music related e-mail to go to my inbox. As my account gets more and more spam e-mails that have subject lines that resemble some of the subject lines for this list it becomes increasingly difficult to sort out threads. So thank you for bringing this up. You shouldn't have to appologize for revisiting old ground here when it is a persistant problem that annoys more than a few subscribers.
