why do people keep quitting the list when all they have to do is create
a folder for the list, a rule that pipes the messages to that folder,
and then you can just paruse the list (or delete them all) whenever you
feel like?

Hello people,
being a long time LAU reader it feels a bit wierd to quit the list. Though
lately the sheer volume of messages is just too much, I can't keep up. SNR
has seemingly gone down a bit too, though I guess both are signs of
linux-audio coming of age.
Before you go, please know one thing and consider another:
1) I value your contributions on all of the lists I've seen you on.
Thanks for that.
2) Consider a GMail account for list management only. I'll give you
one if you need it. I've been subscribing to the Linux-kernel list for
the last few weeks. Even on the heaviest days it only amounts to 30 or
so conversations. It's very easy to delete 100's of emails and get to
the stuff I want to read. I routinely get about 500 emails a day.480
of them go away very quickly.
Before I leave I have a request concerning the
two things I will miss most.
- Application announcements, please make announcements to the [Announce] also
so people like me can find out. I think most does, just a reminder ;)
And the most important one.
- I absolutely applaud the increasing posting of music/sound/noise in here
lately. I will definitely miss this. I'd be very happy if people made use of
the [LAM] list:
http://dis-dot-dat.net/mailman/listinfo/lam_dis-dot-dat.net
Didn't know about this one so I've just signed up. Thanks. See, once
again you're a helper.
and posted their pieces there also. For people like me that need to cut down
on their daily mailinglist-intake it would be a good solution.
Read you later,
Robert
Cheers and good life,
Mark
