Curiosity re Time and Maillists

[Carrol Cox]

I spend way too much time on these lists -- and yet I can't read
carefully at
all more than about 1 out of ten of the posts that flow by. I estimate
that to
cut my time down to a reasonable amount per day I would have to delete
over half of the posts without opening them, and over half of the
remainder
after only glancing at the first sentence or two. (I'm on several other
lists as well as lbo.)

I would be interested on how others (most of whom are not retired
as I am) allocate their time reading and replying to posts on line.
