William, I don't know what your time restraints are but perhaps it would help if you read the messages more often than once a week, as you seem to indicate. I read my messages at least four time a day and it usually takes only takes ten to fifteen minutes a time to sort through the messages, read the ones I want and delete the rest. I am retired so I have the time to do this. In addition to this list I subscribe to four different "news" services, who post once a day, and have nine kids , half of whom are pretty active in sending e-mail back and forth to their mom and me and I'm taking two online courses at present Perhaps if you rearrange your schedule of viewing the messages it wouldn't seem so overwhelming. But keep in mind that you only get out of the list what you put into it, so taking messages away from it would only result in reducing the value of the list to all 1600 who are members of this "support " group.
