SPONSORED LINKS
I have to disagree with the attached comment.
All things considered, especially with the state of the Net these
days, this list has a remarkably *low* quantity of chit-chat.
There are a lot of other newsgroups and liss where the noise and spam
make the list virtually useless. Considering that this list
isn't even moderated, it's even more surprising that the spammers
haven't been shelling us with *cheap thinkpads here* ads or *free
money* scams.
Yeah, we all would like to see a newsgroup that would just give us
useful information about our machine only. But, we also might gain
some other insights on our own Thinkpad's idiosyncrasies by hearing
about someone lamenting about their machine.
If I'm not interested in the subject, I just delete the message
before reading it.
Mitchell

RE: Letter WRT unsubscribing ...
AMEN!! Way too much Noise to Information ratio. I *do* not
have a 701 but do have a 755 and 760. I enjoy most of the
information, but do not have the desire to wade through all of
the chit/chat. Please consider whether what you post will be
relevant to the *whole* list. If there are a handful of you
interested in the specifics of a 701, please just send private
email. <ahhh, feel much better now!! g>
