As an experienced observer of list mediated workflow, I've always found it a mental challenge to deal with 20 messages all at once vs. spread out through the work day. Similarly, seeing a large influx of mail often typifies mail problems e.g., mail loops, or spam -- a condition that always raised my blood pressure. So for those subscribers who have a marginal or low interest in the list, manually inducing a large influx could disaffect them. YMMV. /Pete On 6/16/2011 18:52, k p wrote: > So they consider the content of the list to be worthwhile only if it trickles in at maybe one > message per hour, but getting several messages in five minutes is - in itself, without regard to > their content - a reason to abandon the list?
