Imminent Catastrophe
No worries - you linked and that was credit enough. I just wanted to weigh in with my thoughts. Susan did 99% of the work there anyway...I just saw a great topic on the ultralist and asked her if I could share it. I thought it was a good letter and my operating assumption is that a very very small percentage of my newsletter are on the ultralist, heheh.

Yeah, I'm debating whether to rejoin the ultralist but don't know if I want to deal with the huge volume of messages. Even the digest version is a lot.

When I started running ultras a few years ago, a major motivator was to escape the jackasses I kept running into in road races. The ultra crowd was just so laid back and willing to help a newbie... it was inspiring. I try to help out new runners whenever possible. The message I repeat all the time- be nice, smile a lot, and thank the volunteers.
Each one of us has the ability to make an event better or worse based on our own behaviors. The people in the blog post make me very sad.

I use google apps for domains, so I just made a rule that anything sent to the email address I signed up to the ultralist with gets a label and is auto-archived.
Every day or two I just go in and anything that catches my eye I take a look at, otherwise I "select all unread" and "mark as read".
Between not having it clog my actual inbox and having all the messages stack on each other if they have the same subject line it isn't too bad.
