Hello Mark,
The kind of discussion that's going on at the moment is one of the
things I value about the DRN, but keeping track of it on email is
tricky. I like the sound of your suggestion and am keen to give it try.
Best wishes
Angela Rogers

Hi Steve,
It was precisely the requests for members to
unsubscribe that prompted the drawing-board reminder.
In order to avoid the need for constant referal to
the drawing-board, I could produce a condensed email
with new traffic alerts. It would be a one-off message
sent through DRN, only when a new discussion begins,
and then members are free to decide if they wish to be
updated regularly by setting the email flag on the
post topic page.
Again, time will tell as to what the preferred method
is.
