Reading via archives (was:Knowing list members)

[David Skolnik]

Jon -
I'm not Avery, but I did agree with him.  I'm glad the archives 
exist, no question.  My preference for using Eudora's organizational 
capabilities is, I'm sure, entirely subjective and a matter of 
familiarity.  I have a high speed connection, so the occasional large 
file doesn't dramatically affect the download time.  It seems to me 
that the inelegance of the inclusion of unnecessary information in a 
post would be just as much an issue in the archives as it is in the 
direct-read process.  I'm not sure what, if any, delay exists in the 
process of messages posting to the archives.  I did notice a number 
of archived posts which seemed to lack word-wrap.  I don't know if 
there is some setting of my  own which would impose that. The price 
of continuing education.
