Re: st: RE: Correct Way to Respond to Posts when Email is Turned Off

[John Antonakis <John.Antonakis@unil.ch>]

On being a minority--so was Aristarchus when he proposed a heliocentric 
view of the universe, though he won the argument and more "saw the light"!

;-)

More seriously, though, I do the same thing--autofilter listserve 
e-mails to a separate folder (and still use one e-mail account). This 
avoids me receiving Statalist's (and all other lists to which I am 
subscribed) into my "In box" and can thus efficiently check e-mails on 
the run or in meetings without having to sift through mounds of 
e-mails.  When I have the time, I read and respond to listserve mails in 
my respective listerver folders.

Best,
John.
