Yes. The list has grown in its capacity the last months (300 msg a day?),
so it takes a lot of time to read everything. Usually I look at the
subject, does it look like something I could answer, or for which I am
curious, I read it. Then I follow the thread a while. This is one of the
reasons, if not the most important reason, that one should always use a
good subject.
This changes when I am behind a computer, twisting on my chair. Then I
read almost every mail that comes in, but that is not too much. The list
is very quiet when it is day here in Europe.
Greetz,
Sebastiaan
