I see since 2015-09-28 00:00 (never mind which time zone) 223 messages (and counting) of which 5 are from me (I think :-)-O) and 4 came in during me writing this :-)-O This is not going to work. How are we going to get this to work? Somehow we must start focusing on a single issue and bring that one to a conclusion (before we start with the next one) And how are we going to do that? At the moment I only see one solution, Co-Chairs propose one issue, the plenum of members and participants consent, if we can't get consensus, we have a consensus call among the members. If we get consensus we appoint someone (Bernard Turcotte?) "moderator", to read each incoming message and if it pertains to the subject matter, re-post (forward) it to the list with a subject line consisting of one (several) key words, the name of the poster and the original subject line, ore some other method to allow access or even filter the messages on poster and keywords. That way we still have the deluge, for everybody to read but if we want can focus on the mails only pertaining to the matter at hand. Any better proposals will be greatly appreciated. el -- Dr. Eberhard W.
