[clue] PLEASE UN-SUBSCRIBE ME!

A few months back when the group decided to consolidate the mailing list into 
one, it was decided that subject lines would be appropriately tagged to enable 
easier mail filtering.  I suppose part of the welcome message and/or the signup 
page could be updated to educate subscribers regarding this technique.  And of 
course messages tagged with [clue][TECH] will allow you to solicit help for 
configuring your mail client if you don't know how.

Furthermore, for those that don't like receiving lots of messages, the mailing 
list has an option to email you digests of the day's postings.

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)
