[GBlist] excessive/misdirected replies

[Ben Falk <yamminglazer@yahoo.com>]

I love the amount and quality of information that
comes across this list, but it is only beneficial if
one can sift through more than 30 messages a day to
pfind new/relevant info.  

The string on 'shading my trailer' typified a run on
string that could have been answered entirely to the
individual who originally posed the question about
shading.  

If folks want to know more about it then they can
email that person directly, or if they have something
to add.  

I am in the greenbuilding field and compute alot but
the quantity of messages makes me think I might need
to unsubscribe. 

Do folks think it is necessary to have to keep up with
so many messages to stay on such a list?
Please respond  to me (not the list!) if you have any
ideas... 
Is there a digest form of the group, and is this a
complete solution to this?  I am on other active lists
that don't string out on such long lines of messages.

thanks,

Ben Falk
