Enough of this crap! ENOUGH! If you want your life so tightly organized suit yourself! Go iron your shorts, line up your pencils, or do some other highly structured event that you can robot through. Yes the list is big and bulky, and it's always a newbie who whines loudest about it. Sure subject lines are nice, but my brain and the delete key helps me filter it just fine. I don't want a newsfilter chucking out stuff that may have some interest to me just because its inflexible list precludes spontaneity and curiosity. Think for yourself, if you're too busy, well... ya signed on, so maybe you should... :) bye, tim smith
