Of course, you realize this reflects a certain philosophy in life in general. It is one I have never subscribed to. My philosophy is to have more confidence in myself than that and to utilize my sense of creativity. It has always worked for me... but then, people resent me for it. Also, I do not give up at first, but I continue working at things until they do come around. 
Well, to each his own, but my main e-mail account went for many years without receiving a single spam e-mail... not one. About a week ago, I started getting a couple though. So I don't know.

I have some sympathy.   We live in a culture that is effectively email saturated.  Just at my job I tend to get a half dozen or so emails that have no bearing on me, usually from people that either spammed a distribution list, or are somehow laboring under the delusion that what they have to say is so damn fascinating.   Email saturation in general gets to a level where I can understand people who object to it based on the principle. 


That said, the fact of the matter is email saturation is just part of the world we live in.  You might as well object to the sun for rising in the east for all the good it'll do.   Tend to think you're just better off accepting, and adjusting to it.   Whether it be by delete, procmail, or elaborate systems of filtering rules that sort it all into folders on the exchange servers of the world that people hardly ever read.  (My technique)

my delete key still works.>>>
It's a whole lot of deleting, as you guys are very active. It's like a job I have now --- deleting. Most of the topics I do not need to follow, but it has been interesting getting to know this group.

At any rate, how I can I stop getting the discussion e-mail but still get the notices of install events and other meetings?
Thank you in advance for the information requested.

If the pace were not so fast, I would not mind following at least some of the discussion, as it is interesting... but I have too much going
 on for so much time spent deleting.
