First off, let me say that, so far, I think this is a pretty cool ML, 
despite the difficulties as of late.

Nevertheless, as much as I like it here, I don't know if I can stick 
around.  This may sound goofy but... I've never received this much mail 
before, in six years on the Internet.  Not even close.  Today I had one 
hundred eleven messages in my box.  They weren't all from the list, but 
most were.

I've been on as many as three active lists, and never got anywhere near 
this much stuff.  I'm kinda cowed by it all, since mail has always been 
something I've done quickly at the beginning of each session.  If I do 
stay, I'll probably need to install a better mail package to handle it 
all, especially considering that the R.A.A Favorites Poll starts up in 
three weeks, which will flood my mailbox even further.

So I thought that, just for the hell of it, I'd toss out the idea: what 
about turning the ML into an alt. newsgroup?  With the amount of daily 
traffic, there's more than enough justification for one.  Creating it 
would be child's play.  Someone who knows how could set up a gateway 
between the ML and the group, so that the ML could still be used by 
those unable to receive the group.

What do you think?  It's just an idea.  No flames, please.  :-)
