Hello Grant,

You appear to be creating intentionally obfuscated conditions in which 
you can make something appear to not work...  Forums have worked for 
decades...

> It makes me wonder how people read a newspaper.  Did they write letters to the editor complaining about all of the OT stories they weren’t interested in and how turning so many pages (especially on Sunday) that made their life more difficult?  Was there a customized option delivered to their door that contained only the very specific news items or points of view they wanted to read?  Did they complain about ink and paper usage for stuff that wasn’t personally interesting?
If the Internet were a Newspaper then your argument would hold some 
validity, it is however not a newspaper, so your analogy fails, as does 
your argument.  Again, the custom obfuscated conditions to make a point...

> In the end I suppose it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a reflector or a forum, although my personal preference is the former.  I’d probably read the whole thing anyway (or all 15 of them?), since one never knows when there might be a tidbit of actual good information that doesn’t have their personal navel in the subject line.
You get what you want, to see all posts, and others get what they want 
to be able to sort posts...  Good idea!!

> The whole argument about it is kind of silly, egregiously self-centered, and just adds to the queue length  …  last time I had that kind of tunnel vision I was pulling high G’s in a jet trainer :-)
Sigh...  Insulting people for making suggestions is probably not the way 
to win them over to your point...  A reasoned argument is better.

73s and thanks,
