I ignore advertising in emails from other mailing lists. It wouldn't bother me. I search now with the web browser find function.

Personally I prefer two, as I find that it makes threads easier to follow, but it's not a big issue; I could deal with one big list, if that's what others prefer. > * Would you be offended or > annoyed by advertising inserted > into every message? I'd rather not have advertising if it can be avoided, but I'd much rather have advertising than no list at all. I imagine it won't be too difficult to ignore ads. > * Is the ability to search the > message archive for keywords > useful to you? Oh yes indeed. > Any other advice or suggestions > would be welcomed. Well, this isn't advice or a suggestion, but I'm very grate- ful to you for running this list for us, and for keeping it up even in the face of danger and disaster.
