Patrick I like this group -- it has something different going
on Yet no group is completely to _my_ taste.......
And my e-mail inbox needs to be for immediately important
messages.
And I run out of time to read stuff.
So what I do for all my Yahoo Groups is set my membership to
Special Notices.
Then, when I have a moment, I log into "My Groups"
and click on "Messages" on the far left near the top,
and scan what's going on.
If I don't care about the topic, it's amazing how fast I get
through 20 e-mails.
<<to effect Special Notices, just click on "Edit
Membership" right above the "title bar" of the
group>>
