Dear Mr Blum, I will take you at your word: please paypal me 10 000 bucks a nd I will never post to CR again. Nick March Agen 47000 Lot et Garonne, France

<< These email lists reach over 1000 people each, the time consumed for eac h email is at least 10 seconds. That means the cost of each email is 3 man hours per 1000 people. Most of the emails are almost worthless. I do not consider the value of the lists to be conversational, for that you can emai l each other directly. I have reduced my participation over the last 10 ye ars as the quality of these lists have degenerated. Now I delete 95 percent of the emails without opening them probably missing some good content this still waste a lot of time. The stuff I open is usually marginal. I wish p eople would think about the quality of their contributions and please use b etter title line descriptions. Brian Blum in Berkeley>>
