Subject:      Re: /f Best SIG Award

Not to make Friday non-F or anything, but didn't Gerry (you all remember Gerry, don't you?) mention that the volume of mail running through his machine was raising a few eyebrows among the powers-that-be at his University?

Didn't he ask people to maintain VW-content in list messages, and to keep sig length down to a "reasonable" size? I really, really, value this list, and I'd hate to see it threatened as a result of non-VW traffic.

FFFridays are a great idea, but personally, the best FFFF here is VW-related. I'll subscribe to a humour group for non-VW humour or alt.dinosaur.barney.die.die.die if I want a content-free email diet.

I like the fun on this group too, don't get me wrong. But when the signal-to-noise ratio hits zero, and sigs constitute over half the message size, it's time to cut it out, or at least take it off-line.

And don't even bother flaming me for this: I'll don my nomex any day for VW-related flame wars, but I'll just delete any flames on this one.

I've said enough. I'll leave the "cop" stuff to Gerry, since it's his list. Sorry for the bandwidth.
