These email lists reach over 1000 people each, the time consumed for each email is at least 10 seconds. That means the cost of each email is 3 man hours per 1000 people. Most of the emails are almost worthless. I do not c onsider the value of the lists to be conversational, for that you can ema il each other directly. I have reduced my participation over the last 10 y ears as the quality of these lists have degenerated. Now I delete 95 percen t of the emails without opening them probably missing some good content thi s still waste a lot of time. The stuff I open is usually marginal. I wish people would think about the quality of their contributions and please use better title line descriptions. Brian Blum in Berkeley
