First, I'd like to highlight something that is important. There is no inherent
preference to posting a lot, a moderate amount, or none at all. Everything
depends on context. If you are providing useful input and furthering the
discussion, a lot of mails is ok. And no mails can be a problem, too, if you
were supposed to participate, such as when you are an author of a document on
the topic. For instance, when I look at Thomas' report, if I don't appear there
I probably should have paid more attention.
In other words, you should not look at how much people post on lists alone…
and no matter what you post, please be considerate of other people, avoid
repetition, stay on topic, etc.
Secondly, don't we have better things to do than to argue about e-mail list
summary reports? Several people find them useful. I'm sure there is something
in the Internet that still needs fixing :-)
