medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Most respected:
I am a serial lurker in here, with very rare posts because it's very rare for a topic to crop up about which I actually know anything significant. As Meg McCormack suggests, I use the Digest form, which means I spend five (or ten, or fifteen) minutes once a day skimming down through one very long post extracting nuggets of wisdom. Sometimes there are none which appeal, sometimes there are many. At all times it's like sitting in a common-room somewhere listening to the academic sparring, oops sorry debate. I find the debate part of the academic rigor of the list. It would be very hard to separate the joking/teasing/humorous comments from the serious ones (as in a live common-room) and I truly feel it would detract from the value of the list if one were to try.

The problem is - as many who have accidently sent messages to the list
have discovered -
distinguishing between the individual sender to be blocked and the list
as a whole.
My advice to those who find the amount of material overbearing would be
to use the digest
to follow threads they are interested in. I admit I have no idea how to
do this . . .
