Jay, count me as one who is quite satisfied with your handling of this
listserver!

I find the change of subject but not changing the subject line annoying
and do pretty much the same thing you do with them. Yup, I do lose some
good info, but good is relative; it is not worth my time to parse each
message to try and find something of interest.

Again, the spam is not a problem; it is the multiple complaints about
the spam that helps lowers the S/N ratio (which is already pretty low)
of this listserver. But again, this is a subscriber responsibility
issue, and I like the way you have been handling it.

Another indication that you are doing a good job!!! Keep up the good
work!!!
