Email overload is a continual problem since both the iBOB and CR lists get 50-100 emails per day. We get at least 1 new member of CR asking 'could you please remove me from the list, I get too many emails!!!' every month!! I'm sure lots of people figure out they can unsubscribe by themselves and we never see them again !!

This is all such a waste of possible and useful contributers *sigh*.

I'd like to ask Dale Brown & Alex Wetmore :

"Can we please create CR subscriptions with a default of NO DELIVERY and on the creation page, tell users they are STRONGLY URGED to read the list from the website archives on http://www.bikelist.org?"

Here is the URL I use to read today's postings to the CR list :

http://search.bikelist.org/query.asp?SearchString=&FMMod=-1d&FMModDate=&SortBy=MsgDate[a]&Scope=classicrendezvous&RecordsPerPage=250
