</div></blockquote><div>I agree they can be too voluminous :) however i think its better to have those logs in the archive (while we hit delete on our individual mail boxes) than not to have those discussions at all. Perhaps we are experiencing this much large threads because of emerging issues(Br being one of them) which are occasional.<br>

And wouldn't adding limit make some ideas remain unknown? While both options have its pro and cons we just need to identify which is more important; is it better to have the many ideas posted within a long thread and hope that it will be useful for someone OR we end up having those ideas not posted at all (due to limitation)<br>

Does the other list you refer have a similar role as 1Net? This is a unique environment where there may be a need to respond 20times in a day to multiple conversion by an individual while the same individual may not need to write anything within a week.<br>
There is the other thing in Dialogue which we may loose if limit is implemented. I call it emotions; it is what people writes that provokes others to respond and there is usually the probability(yeah maths) that someone responding almost immediately when he/she finds an interesting topic will provide more "effective" response than having to wait till to use the next day access (due to limit restriction). By the second day, there will have been many other mails which will then create a priority response. IMHO I don't think 1Net should shut lips this way; it should give opportunity to share and provoke ideas. We need those emotions to be provoked to produce a better resolution, we need to provide the opportunity to continue to disagree on a matter with hope to agree (or remain disagreed)</p>

I know some will jump that it is will be breach to freedom of expression :-) (which in fact will be somehow true), but frankly it is becoming not easy to keep track of everything posted on the list. (I have to catchup with 300+ emails after few days off) Can_we/should_we do anything at all about that? Thoughts?<br>
