Dear Marcel

When you post 5 messages in a row that contain things like "I think
it's meantone"/"Now I think it's 12-tet"/"Now I think it's meantone
again"/"Now I'm even more convinced that my JI is the perfect JI"/"I'm
so excited"
it spams everyone's inbox.

While you are more than entitled to your opinion about the structure
of JI and how it works, please stop posting 5-7 messages in a row
unless they are important enough to warrant emailing 1200 people about
it.

Thanks,
Mike

Ok perhaps I understand something wrong here.
But isn't everybdy reading these email in a thread style? (like a forum)
I agree 5 messages like that would be very annoying if you see every one of
those email as a new email.
But I assume nobody reads the list like that (atleast they shouldn't, would
be very inconvinient and unorderly)
So when I write 5 short messages or wether I write 1 big one, I don't see
why it would matter to people.
Fraction of a second scroll down and you're to the next message.

Dear Marcel,

it matters so much that, even a person like myself who is really interested
in your final results, is now filtering out your messages in Outlook.
Only exceptionally should anybody write more than a few lines, and more than
a few messages per week.
(I am myself sometimes an offender and try hard to improve).

Chaos would be the result otherwise.
You should be MUCH more concise, writing down only final results and not all
the steps of the process, or else nobody will read you.

With my best wishes,

Claudio

Hello Claudio,

Ok comming from you I take it serious.
I will change my posting behavior as you suggest.

I wasn't this bad before, but the Lasso really got to me :(
Sorry.

Btw the final version I posted yesterday in the thread called Final Lasso.
This one will not change anymore.

Kind regards,
Marcel

They do. It's a mailing list. But it's inconvenient either way.

Once again there's where you're wrong. This has been a mailing list since the early days, and is only now on Yahoogroups because Yahoo! bought out egroups.com in 2000.
