While I sympathize with the unundated mailbox syndrome, I believe
that  the  listserv  approach is less plagued by garbage postings
than the newsgroup approach. Majordomo (the  listserver  software
used to manage this list) is capable of presenting collections of
postings in digest format rather  than  each  individual  posting
being  sent  separately.  This means that we would receive one or
two e-mails per day containing the group dialog rather  than  the
10-20  that  we  currently  receive.   However, it is up the list
owner to set this up. Dorothy, is this possible?
