-1 for not using a mailing list (or +1 FOR using a mailng list).<br>
<br>
Being able to keep a full searchable archive on my own hardware is<br>
indispensable.<br>
Big numbers in an inbox do not scare me. I am in full control in<br>
maintaining the<br>
archive and what I may not have any interest in today, I may have tomorrow.<br>
<br>
One day, the silos will disappear.<br>
