I can imagine why people might not subscribe. This is high volume mailing list! I find it takes up a noticeble part of my day even though I delete some entries without even reading the subject. (I admit I have a hard time not at least reading the subject.) This is the number 1 place to get help but it can be overwhelming to subscribe. The subscribe and unsubscribe processes can take a while so subscribing for a short time just to ask a single question can be a time consuming task too. 1/7/2002 11:39:00 AM, Kristofer Pettijohn <kpettijohn@visi.com> wrote: >> It seems to me that this might be one extra hoop for nonsubscribers, but >> nothing too incomprehensible or onerous, and it would profoundly reduce the >> amount of spam. >> Good idea?
