[ale] This list is flooding with messages

[Ben Le]

I am new with this Linux list. I know this list is very helpful for Linux 
users. However, have all of you noticed that this list is flooding with 
messages and most of the messages have nothing to do with Linux? For 
example, this list lately is flooding with hundred of messages about phone 
services and ISP (comcast, Qwest, Bellsouth...) that has nothing to do with 
Linux. I would recommend to post the questions only on this list. The 
answer will need to send directly to the question's owner instead to the 
list (to prevent hundred of answers and flooding the list). The question's 
owner is responsible to put the good answers together and post it to the 
list as a 'summary'. After the 'summary' is posted, the subject is closed. 
This is the way most of professional user list is using such as HP-UX user 
group list. May be it just only me, I would love too, but I can't go 
through all the messages of this list every days, it is just too many. Thanks.

Ben
