Pitty this list can't operate like the Yahoo type in that if you wish you
can choose the option of logging on to read messages as opposed to getting
sent direct. You can then choose what to read and the in box doesn't get
chocked up when one is away from home.

Hello Deke and Don.
This is Eric Ashman (Atlanta)
I have been thinking of this for a couple of weeks. I spend a lot of time
out of town on business and on returning I find sometimes well over a
hundred posts. Trouble is quite a lot of them are unrelated to Kitfox
building, maintenance or flying. I find another issue of a couple of dozen
posts answering the same subject by lots of people and somehow the
conversation, kind of gets diluted from the original subject and drifts
freely.
I am not saying this is terribly wrong but usually I have enough to do
around the house and hangar when home and I really don't want to spend an
hour or two browsing the list.
This is my feeling. I have enjoyed some of the discussions and some topics
have been very interesting for me. Some posts from a number of you guys have
been fun and enjoyable, this will be the stuff I will miss.
Who knows, sometime down the line I will apply for group therapy again 
For now, Deke and Don, would you please remove my name from the list.
Thanks ever so much.
Have a great Christmas holiday everyone. Eric, Classic IV. Atlanta

John,
You should check out the Matronics Email List Forums. They give you exactly that functionality. They are tied directly to the Matronics Email Lists and any content is cross posted between the email lists and the forum and vis-a-versa. That way you can get your List content in either way you prefer.

John, why don't you just use the digest feature? You get one email a day
that is easily scanned for whatever interests you.

Unless there's an option to do just that here's a workaround. In your
email program create a filter that deletes all kitfox messages from
kitfox-list(at)matronics.com and then just use the web based forum as you
describe.

Matt
Frankly, and this is just my opinion, obvoiusly, I think this is exactly the
problem that the list has developed. The forum set-up resembles all the
open topic chat rooms out there and it has attracted all the nonsensical
chit chat and multiple posts you see in the chat room environment and they
are all posted to the Kitfox list.
I think a quick review of the timing of when this phenomenon started - it
would be about the time this option opened up. For about 14 years the
Kitfox list opereated pretty much as it was intended, then whamo.
As before, just an opinion.

To Matt and the Kitfox List.
Too just add a little bit to this. One of the downsides of using the forum
feature is that the message that is being replied to isn't automatically
appended to the outgoing message. Therefore, often when we receive a post
here on the List there's a message, but it often makes no sense because we
can't tell what is being replied to. The subject line gives a clue, but
often that is many posts old. I'll pass this on to Matt.

But with the forum format, attaching the old message is unnecesary and redundant because the web site keeps all the messages neetly organized. The problems arise because we're trying to do this dual personality web/email aproach and what works for one doesn't always work for the other. I believe that it would be best to just pick one.
