Re: Lot's of emails, topics and digest

Hi all. Jeremy has raised a good point.

Each of us has our own reasons for being here: some are fanatical collectors, to whom every word of an episode must be carefully evaluated; some are mildly-OCD types who need to have all rounds of all episodes in toto; others just want every reasonable-quality episode in their collection; and there are those who casually like the show a lot and just want to listen to the funny bits without too much mucking about.

I am, at different times, all of these types.

For one list like this to accommodate the needs of all types of JAM fans, it has to feed each user type, so there will be posts that annoy some, delight others, and are informative to many.

I find the best strategy is to focus on the posts that supply stuff I want to know, and press DEL for those that don't, knowing they will be treasured by other subscribers.

And sometimes when my needs change, I need to re-visit the archive to find the posts I deleted to glean their unappreciated value.

We're all in the same pool. Some of us want to swim fast laps. Some want to paddle. We all need to be careful not to block the lanes with our rubber ducks, or plough into the paddlers.

But we all knew that already.

Cheers

Mark, of Melbourne

Dear all

I get the digest & while it does overcome the clutter, there is an issue with people not clipping the quotes in their replies. I am almost thinking of moving away from digest to individual mails because it is a hassle scrolling down watching the quote indents increase and then decrease to get to the next message. It can also get so long that there is some truncation. With individual mails, sorted to a folder, the collector's messages can be easily deleted

I understand the collecting impulse, but am also getting a bit overwhelmed by the desire to get slightly better recordings (I thank everyone for sharing program(me)s and haven't really found any unlistenable since the early series; and while a missing round or a reference to Nick burping is completist, it is amazing to watch.

I enjoyed the latest episode, some typical Nick assisting of the newbie; some obvious missed repetitions from the regular players which are more obvious to the relaxed listener. Nice range of 'true' and 'surreal' responses.
