My problem isn't the phone bill; it's simply the time to monitor the
group. I hadn't checked in a few days (I do have another life), and found
547 unread articles. This group is gonna end up the province of a few
full time Linux enthusiasts, plus the newbie questions, at the rate
things are going. I'm gonna have to unsubscribe and just check
tsx-11 archives periodically at the rate things are going. (Yes, I do know
about the mailing lists and participate in a couple of interest).
One more time; I think that adding a series of sub-groups would help
the majority of us.
