[Sean responded by defending his posting volume.]
I meant, if the 247 posts that came from dattier(_at_)ripco(_dot_)com in 2002
are too
many, the 356 posts I made in aggregate from the four addresses of mine that
Don spotted are way too many. My post made no comment, much less any
judgment, about your total.
I wasn't being defensive about my, or anyone elses' total - more pointing
out how much a handful of people regularly contribute to the list (and the
list was only the top three, which by no means are the only signifcant
contributors here), generally not in the form of questions, and in turn,
how much time investment that represents.
Yes, when you think about the time that goes into compsing a reply, several
hundred contributions constitutes a significant investment of time that
could be spent on other interests, and in that, several hundred posts is
indeed way too many.
handle it, while you're up to the task. So if you made more posts than I,
you posted far, far more text.
It's a blabberbot I wrote. <g>
