THANK YOU! I haven't read the mailing list in WEEKS due to the incredible list length. I even have considered unsubscribing b/c I never read it anymore. If there is a good article at the end of the list, it takes too long to page down so most of the time I just zap it after scanning the headlines. I don't know what the solution is but your suggestions were right on the money. I have 100s of cute stories about Vanilla but don't post them anymore so I don't add to the traffic. I, too, remember when the list was more manageable (what ever happen to Michelle & her Mousecateers <-sp?) I give Bill a lot of credit for managing this...
