My opinion is that the readership NOT deluge those addresses with
mail.  I would suggest that spokesfolks from the list e.g., our
Moderator be assigned that task.

It would be a shame if so much noise were generated that this channel
of communication were cutoff.

[Moderator's Note: I'm not quite sure I understand your claim. Is it
'noise' if you do not agree with the letter-writer? If Mr. McGowan
suddenly began refusing to read/answer his mail personally, would that
be a big loss?  Can you explain further?  You are not suggesting that
either MCI Mail or ATT Mail would deliberatly cut the connection and
reduce their email universe as a result of a few letters sent through
which were (in your estimation) 'noise' are you?  PAT]
