        A week ago, I used to get 70+ e-mails a day.

	I don't.  I get close to 300 a day from this list.  The more
people on this list, (and we're over 350 now), and the more posts, the
more BOUNCES I get.  I have to go track down the problem and fix it.  I do
NOT like doing this.  I would like to have the time to WRITE fanfics.  I
don't even have time to READ them anymore. 

	I bitch and complain because I have to deal with all the problems.
All I'm asking, is that you think twice about your message before you send
it.  Do the people of the list really need to hear what you're saying?
Should you send it privately instead?  

	The reply-to field has been deleted.  This is to encourage private
e-mail.  Please, use it.

	Oh yeah, if you want to continue this discussion, let's take it
off the list.  You can find me on IRC, on the irc.ranma.net server, under
the nick Ranmachan.  I'm there 6+ hours a day.  And of course, you know my
email address.
