It could be worse, and it has been. About fifteen years ago, I was on a mailing list that was misconfigured. This became clear when somebody signed up with the wrong email address and all messages from the list bounced. The default was to send out digests unless and until you changed your settings, and all bounces went to the list itself. Each digest bounced, causing a new digest to be sent containing the previous digest plus whatever had come in since the last. Not only that, it decided that these "mega-digests" had to go out to everybody, including the vast majority of us who didn't want digests. Now, add to that the fact that over 90% of us were on Dial-Up at the time. As I said, "It could be worse." -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
