With forums, you don't have to rely on email notification. You can just check the thread in your browser and respond if want. Turning off email notification doesn't require you to unsubscribe from the forum. With this group, you should be able to do the same thing. You should be able to turn off email notification, check the archives in your browser and respond when you want (plus fill out surveys etc. when you want). The bonus of doing it this way is that you don't have to manage the mail. You just rely on the archives. Now, one can argue that you should use an email client that can handle the mail in a nice way and one can argue that just using the archive is not a good way to participate. However, that's not for us to decide. It's up to the individual. If one wants to rely on the archive, we should just say "O.K." and provide the option *if possible*. A "Turn off email notifications. I will rely on the archives." option, would probably do it. Is that option hiding around somewhere? -- Michael
