Whoah.  Then it's not a list.  Cut 'em down to size, for sure,  
but keep 'em coming to the list!

Agreed.

But you're suggesting things that have bearing on the list, 
therefore it's a legitimate on-list issue and responses should 
be to the list.  I absolutely agree with the need for posting 
efficiency -- and you've stated the case well -- but I believe 
that this list is not just about harmonica. It also is 
necessarily about the list itself. That is, sometimes it's 
important to discuss how we run the list.
