That's not the culture of this list although it is on others I am
subscribed to.   The downside I've seen to what you propose is that many
times people do not post the summary so one finds more questions than
solutions in the archives.

The knowledge and experience level in this group is valuable.

Unfortunately it is also very busy with a single thread growing into
multiple replies to all.

Can the volume be cut down by following this simple etiquette?

=20

1) originator posts question=20

2) participants reply directly to the originator (not reply all)

3) originator collects replies and posts resolution or further enquirers

4) participants reply directly to the originator's additional questions

5) originator posts solution

=20

I have already started following the above described procedure and sent
my replies to the originators only.

If just the regularly active members follow this etiquette, then perhaps
we can grow into a larger community.

I realize that not all will comply because new members are added every
day.

But, very unfortunately there are also members that cancel their
subscription due to the high level of activity.
