Urth and Whorl mailing lists
15 quoted lines
Please discuss on the lists and/or send me your opinions: * Is it really necessary to have two lists, or would one be more comfortable? * Would you be offended or annoyed by advertising inserted into every message? * Is the ability to search the message archive for keywords useful to you? Any other advice or suggestions would be welcomed. Ranjit Bhatnagar Keeper of the Urth and Whorl lists
I would be happy with one list. I ignore advertising in emails from other mailing lists. It wouldn't bother me. I search now with the web browser find function. I find it adequate but more advanced search capabilities would be ok too.

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.

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. Thank you.
