We don't need everyone's traceroute. Hardly useful for others anyway unless they're your roommate.

I don't have a great solution to offer... I think the "community" here is probably too new to split into separate "alerts" and "discussion" lists. I also personally don't care which type of list it is. But I would suggest this difference in expectations is perhaps at the route of the original comment and others that have been on the list. --------------------------------------------------------- When a subject becomes uninteresting to a person, all he/she has to do is select based on the subject line and mass delete the thread. It's not too hard. I don't think the list has enough momentum to fragment it already. It would be nice, though, if folks could clean up the traceroutes a bit before posting. For example, remove the delay times when just showing there's connectivity to a particular destination. Many traceroutes are a hard to read mess. scott -----------------------------
