My solution to this is simply to get the list digest.  Yes, it is a day 
late but that is not a problem here.   I often just check the topic 
headers and if there is nothing of intrest...hit the delete key 
once...and this happens with the QRP-L list also...it has a lot of "me 
too" posts, but I would guess that most lists do.   If there is a topic 
of interest I just roll down to it...the post header numbers make that 
easy and with a little practice you can zoom right down to the post of 
interest.

The only annoyance with the digest is the excessive length due to the 
copying of the entire original post by repliers, and I know Eric has 
asked people to to watch this more than once... a request which many 
seem not to consider much of the time(but I can handle it).   I think 
they don't want to chop off some/all of  the original post because they 
are either lazy and/or just not "hip" to how aware other people are of 
the topics.  Sometimes, although,  it IS undoubtedly advisable to copy 
the entire original post, especially if it is of a technical 
nature...what you choose to copy of the original post is simply a 
reflection of your intellect...
