A very sensible approach by Ellinor and one that I adopt too,  I look at 
Peter's subject title and either open it (a small number) and read or 
delete it.

What is all this about domination of the list serv? What a very sad thread 
this is indeed.

Re: Open letter to Records Management Community






Ironically, I think part of this discussion comes down to a records 
management question of do you want Peter?s emails in one big summary 
document, without appropriate headings as to content, or with the useful 
titles, so you can recover the one you want. 

I much prefer informative subject lines so I only have to open the 
headings that look of interest to me. I?m not a RM person, but have need 
to follow a FEW of the topics on this listserver. I was originally annoyed 
at all Peter?s postings, but now have learned to just file them away. I 
only open 1 in 10 or 20, but those often turn out to be useful to me. 
Peter is not dominating the listserver with his own perspectives per se, 
he is acting as a conduit for information that the rest of us might miss. 
In the end, I appreciate the service he provides. He is concise, gives a 
summary and a reference for more info. 

I would request that in general the RM listserver try to encourage posters 
to have informative subject lines, content in the email that says what its 
about (without requiring the reader to go to another link first) and a 
reference. 

Cheers,

Ellinor Michel

All,
 
I find one person?s dominance and saturation of this list, to be most 
irritating, and inappropriate.
 
I am aware that this has caused problems in the past, that remain 
unresolved; and whilst it is permitted to continue in this manner, I feel 
that the effectiveness and reputation of this list is compromised.
 
In response to any criticism of the frequency of posts, it has been 
suggested (perhaps even instructed?) that list members adjust their 
settings to filter out particular mails. 
 
Why should list members have to re-engineer their configuration of the 
system to suit the needs of one member?  I was under the impression that 
this was an opt-in, not an opt-out service?
 
 
 
For the record ? I have no personal issue with Peter. As I stated 
yesterday, I find his postings both interesting and informative. I 
personally choose to manage the flow of communications from Peter through 
his Twitter feed.
 
 
 
My issue is simply regarding the excessive frequency of these particular 
posts, and the assumption that others should adjust their personal 
settings to accommodate one user. 
 
Nobody else seems to have the desire or requirement to post multiple times 
a day, and the fact that so many of you seem to have configured your 
filters accordingly would suggest that you have no desire or requirement 
to receive multiple postings per day!
 
 
 
Whilst one member is allowed to dictate policy over other users of this 
list service, and whilst excessive mails (?spam? or otherwise) bother my 
inbox, I no longer wish to be part of this community. 
 
I will therefore be unsubscribing from this list.
 
 
Regards,
 
Brian
