read it.

>> Frankly this group has degenerated into a chat forum for a small

>>
>>
>> Look I don't personally care what you say here.  Post 80 times daily 
>> inane musing about your navel.  Just mark it accordingly "Other: This 
>> is my navel" so that the listserv can do it's job and send it to the

>> filtering.  By not following the posting guidelines people's inboxs 
>> are being filled up with stuff they don't care about. Perhaps you 
>> only want to hear about BOC and BRAIN and don't like HW.. or visa vera.

>>
>> For myself, and I am very confident that I speak for others, if

>> The current crop of topics which can be selected/specified are:
>>
>> Admin Admin-specific BOC Blue Oyster Cult-specific
>> HW Hawkwind-specific
>> BRAIN Brain Surgeons-specific
>> NIK NikWind-specific
>> OTHER Everything not specifically flagged as a topic
>> ALL Everything (This is the default topic filter)
>>
>>   To categorize a mail message, you should put the topic keyword(s)

>> that a
>> mail message is pertinent to BOC and the Brain Surgeons, you could use:
>>
>> Subject: BOC,BRAIN: Will the original BOC ever get back together?
>>
>>   As you can see, multiple topics can be specified on one subject line.

>>   Please note that topic selection will be ignored for digest mode.

>> Now honestly the chances of this post having any impact on the signal
