Dear all,

Can we please refrain from sending mails to the distribution list for the
sake of it. Maybe you should limit it to the individual you want to have a
banter with. I have just had over 20 emails with the same subject. I wonder
how many of them actually discuss the subject matter to the benefit of the
novice?

My problem with "hundreds" of emails flying around via the distribution
lists (without sometimes advancing the technical issue in question) is that
my forwarding service provider's limit is reached before all my mail has
been received and real emails do not get through to.

Please do not suggest that I de-subscribe as that is not the answer! Just be
a little more selective in your choice of receipient.

Thanks,

 Hamid
