I very much sympathize with Neil's plight. Personally, I don't post to the seqfan list (or number theory, or Life), because I'm not sufficiently interested in these topics to want to get all the e-mail traffic they generate. I usually figure that if something's sufficiently interesting, it'll show up on math-fun eventually. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a feasible though utopian solution that accommodates both points of view: Ideally, all these lists could be web based. Like Usenet, when somebody posts to several lists, that posting is marked as "read" for a given individual as soon as they read it on any list -- so they never have to step in the same article twice. Is there any possibility that the various limited-access math lists could be collected under some (perhaps web-based) Usenet-like meta-software that ensures no one has to inadvertently read a post twice? --Dan
