Hi, Michael -

Isn't there already a MEMS newsgroup?  I used to use it, but stopped a
couple of years ago.  It's a bother to have to do two separate activities
(email plus newsgroup).  Everybody logs on to get email anyway, so I
suspect this is why this email list gets so much activity.

Perhaps there are some who use the newsgroup and who could report how the
level of activity in the newsgroup compares with the level of activity in
this email list.

This email list works for me.  I don't feel obligated to read all the mail.
My solution to the volume of email from this email list is look at the
subjects, click all that are not of interest, and just hit the delete key
once.
