>>This morning I received 4 digests from the Triumphs list in the mail.
>>In those digests were a total of 204 messages, and the subject matter
>>broke down like this:
>>
>> Personal comments
>> (age, habits, jokes, etc.): 8 ( 4%)
>> TRF (including Coventry Inn and
>> whining about not getting the newsletter): 69 (34%)
>> Actual discussion about Triumphs: 80 (39%)
>> Beer or Brits: 38 (19%)
>> Wanted/For Sale: 7 ( 3%)
>> Random non-LBC discussion: 2 ( 1%)
>>
>>I've been on this list since 1991, and I've never seen the
>>signal-to-noise ratio so low. This is exactly what caused me to leave
>>the British-Cars list a while back.
>>
>>Please reread Mark's intro to the list (you get it when you subscribe,
>>I don't know where else it lives), and understand that each little
>>piece of useless fluff you send to this list goes out to lots and lots
>>of people, most of whom have no interest in your little aside to a
>>previous piece of useless fluff.
>>
>>I've learned a lot from this list, but I have to admit it's been a while.
>>
>>Please folks, 80 Triumph-related posts out of 204 on a Triumphs mailing list
>>is awful! Please think before you mail off your funnylittle comment!
>>
>>Thanks for listening,
