Re: Sheer Volume on this List

["Clint Allen" <clint.allen@gmail.com>]

Speaking for myself, I often find it hard to gauge what might be interesting,
based off of the subject lines. Many times I have deleted emails in this forum
only to find out later that there was some very interesting discussion going on.
Other times, exactly the opposite or I have read through volumes to find nothing.

I think there needs to be a more of an effort to change subject lines when the 
thread starts to change, which it so often does. 

I've nothing really to offer on this subject other than to say I'd rather recieve as much info
as possible and have the option to delete, than vice-versa.

Hmmm...the number of emails on this list has never been a problem to
me...it's all about being able to prioritize on the fly and not feel the
need to read everything I see. I get hundreds of emails a day from work, sit
on conference calls, lead meetings, someetimes from 6am to 6pm, plus
exchange instant messages with my peers while on conference calls...plus
keep up with LD emails and other list emails.

It takes a fraction of a second to read the subject heading of an email and
delete it.   For me quantity has notning to do with it. The more time I
have, the less emails I delete or leave un-read.  Go to digest mode, or just
start sorting by subject heading and deleting multiple emails at the same
time....all this takes mere seconds.

Or am I not getting something here?  What is taking most of folks time? Are
you tryin to read everything? Seriously, how long does it take to delete
your inbox.
