RE: New UKHA Spinoff Group

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

I agree,

Splitting into more groups is better.

I am receiving 150 (or whatever) mails a day. Because I don't have Audioreceiver I didn't join that group and saved myself few mails a day.

Also,I am interested in 1-wire stuff, but I don't actively participate, so I chose daily digest on that one, so instead of receiving 30 more  mails a day, I receive one and it doesn't mix with the others.

Subject identifier is enforced in each group, so it's more likely that people will post in proper group then that they will use proper subject.

Cheers,

Nik

Oh that old nut ......

The bigest problem is that it's not easy to get people to use an agreed
topic heading.

I filter on the group that the e-mail comes from rather than the
content, much more accurate imho.

Also, it does mean that it's actually kinder on the net in terms of the
volume of messages being shifted.

Finally, and I think this is significant, is from yahoo's point of view
it dillutes the message volume onto more than one group, owned by more
than one person, hopefully reducing the chances of being charged.

Cheers

Stuart
