Listfriends- I will repeat what I usually say when this issue comes up. I think we have to reach some sort of balance. We need to be more than coldly clinical and less than a chat line- the latter can be done other places. At the same time a lot of people are overwhelmed with our volume and do not stick around. While I prefer not to get the list in digest form I sometimes miss other messages to me in the shear numbers. The use of the subject line to identify clearly off topic comments is useful but I would suggest again to just think before you post Does what I am posting relate to PD or a thread that at least started with a PD theme? Can it be better responded to with direct email? Also, is for instance an article I am posting have general interest that others may not have access to outside of the list? It is inevitable that this issue will continue to recur as the LIST membership changes but I have to say that that the "offenders" seem to be changing so maybe it is worth it to have these little "reminders".
