Just to support Richard, Chris and others with a
practical example.
My brother has been in WA for the past 2 1/2 weeks
(playing hockey and some birding). He didn't unsubscribe to birding-aus in this
time. As there were some many Bugbear viruses floating through the email
system, I decided to keep what I thought would be relevant to him to forward to
him and junk his emails through his ISP.
Would you believe in about 2 weeks I kept 22
emails. That's 22 out of 100's. Now I'm not saying they'll are spam or
relevant to somebody but its like panning for gold to get a posting that
are relevant to one's area of interest in birding.
I've had my say about this before with the
Birding-Aus Law ie "the number of postings put on birding aus by any individual
is inversely proportional to its relevance".
Somebody(Michael Norris I think) actually did the
analysis on the top 10 correspondents for a month. The results would
have surprised know one and confirms Chris's point that birding-aus is
being used a personal chat line by certain subscribers.
