Hi "Jordan K. Hubbard";  On 08-Oct-97 you wrote: 

I think that any measure you come up with will be like the speed limit laws:
It will be somewhat effective at first and as time goes by, less and less
so.

As anecomer myself, I can testify that, yes, I have consumed an inordinate
amount of time of many, but I still hope i can return the investment one
day :-)

I also see something else;  Many times a question will trigger a discussion
that end up way out (compared to the original subject).  This is good, I
think, but increases the volume on the lists.

If you are to categorize access, how will you do that?  Will you restrict
some?  Based on what criteria?

I think you should chalk this issue up to ``cost of doing busines''.

BTW, the {Open,Net} lists are much quiter, or am I wrong?
