Having an informal method of forwarding messages from other lists could lead to multiple people deciding to forward the same and additional messages from other lists that they feel are "useful". All potentially causing "list pollution". So, it should be discouraged. 2. Forwarding edited messages could result in portions being removed that some would find useful. (Why does the person forwarding get to decide what is "important"?) 3. Forwarding weekly/monthly messages in a manual way should include the commitment to do it long term and without delay. e.g. no delayed forwarding because one is "on vacation". It doesn't bother me too much since I would just ignore it. Generally, I do prefer to get only messages from lists to which I've subscribed. Besides, this is only being done as a knee-jerk reaction to recent events. -- Knock, knock! Who's there? Sam and Janet. Sam and Janet who? Sam and Janet Evening... 葛斯克 愛德華 / 台北市八德路四段
