You should think a little harder next time about whether people really want to read all of your crap. I mean, this could go on, and on, and on. We might have days, and days, and days of this silly twaddle, all because of you. It's all your fault -- it's all on you. While I'm at it, I should point out that people can use subject searches and usually "D," or some simple key combination, to delete sets of messages all at once. It does take a slight amount of computer competence that not everyone on this list will have, so some people will be bothered a lot by extensive discussions that don't interest them, merely because they don't have the ability to to search messages and do batch deletes. I do pity them. But wasn't the stuff about Bill Joy interesting? I really like those old interviews. Mike
