Burnett x3330 To: Subject: This is getting Ridiculous Forwarded-from: KJBSF%SLACVM.BITNET@WISCVM.WISC.EDU Subject: This is getting ridiculous Over the period Thursday-Sunday, I received about 20000 lines of mail from the info-atari16 mailing list, most of it uuencoded programs that I neither needed nor wanted. I don't enjoy having to wade through all this junk, especially when I have a program that automatically concatenates all of the atari messages into one file. There is no way to differentiate between a 1500 line program and a regular message. It would be nice if one of the following could be done: a) A separate list for programs is created b) we adopt some special Subject: line to differentiate programs c) we stop postingg such long things over the net I don't enjoy getting 9000 lines of proff or whatever and then hearing in another message that the whole pile doesn't work, and I'm sure the people who run the system here don't like having my reader jammed like this.
