[Leica] Help! Too much volume on the LUG

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

What I do sometimes is I arrange the list by topic.
If a topic looks good I click on one. Usually the first one.
If it pans out I read more of them.
If I have something to add I do so.

Sometimes I arrange the list so its by people.
Certain people I'm prone to read what they say and they'll get me interested
in a thread I'd otherwise not have read or responded to.

You can't do any of this with a digest. A digest is not away to be at all
involved with a list IMO.


One thing I don't often do is come on a list and criticize the whole thing
for not being what I want them to be; for not living up to my expectations
like they're on this planet to entertain me. I get around doing.
