This list has gone from 'shit' to the 'pure shit' status over the past 
couple of years. I can't recall the last time I actually read something
worthwhile. I thought dc-stuff had issues with arrogance. If you can't 
keep track of '500 emails per day', why don't you unsubscribe from a few 
of the '23 lists' you talk about? Who the hell has enough *time* to go piece 
out 500 emails, where probably a good 90% of them are worthless.<I'm sure 
the ratio is quite higher on most lists, counting this one at times>
I'm on a fair number of lists myself. If I get overwhelmed from idiots 
posting stuff, or the S/N is just insane, I'll unsubscribe that quick. 
Problem solved.

that.>
