[AG-TECH] SPAM

[Tom Coffin]

hi Lee

I personally have found the AGtech list as a priceless resource
for understanding/troubleshooting accessgrid related
issues. In my opinion the volume is negligible when
compared to the overall value of the list.

However,
if the volume is really an issue for you,
I recommend setting up an email filter by subject to store all
AGTECH messages in a folder separate from your inbox.
That way you can review past messages if there is a topic
of interest without the need to sort them from your general
inbox.
