As a 'silent lurker' who enjoys caml but does not use it on a daily basis, I still appreciate the quality of the posts and the list as a way to stay in touch with the community. > I believe this would work much better than going through the News. For me it is. Also I use some simple filters to keep all the list mails in a separate folder which I can ignore when I'm too busy to read them. Not ideal, but no more work that scanning a newsgroup when I have time to clean them out.
