Re: FLASH: My Rebuttal (Sickend by this)

[Rob w, Current Marketing]

Bill might want to subscribe to the list in digest form, if he isn't already. That way you skip what you don't want to read, and you aren't inundated every few minutes with a desperate cry for help.


Another useful suggestion (for someone else other than me, because I don't have these skills) might be to create a searchable archive of the Flasher digests. I think that designers who can't find what they need in the manuals feel they have little other recourse than to turn to this list, and if they could do a keyword search in an archive, it would alleviate some of the unnecessary traffic. Of course, there will always be the wiseguy who refuses to use the available resources, but such persons should suffer swift and terrible retribution.
