I say cut back more.
If you go "no mail", you're still a member, but you can choose to
ignore the list for several days if need be.
I just joined Anne's "shinewithunschooling" list this month but
found it WAY too busy for my life. I just went "no mail" there too.
The only lists I'm getting email from, are this one,
my "imaginationtribe" and my local list which is not very active.
I just can't keep my time online to a minimum any other way...as
much as I love chatting with everyone, the swirling, bubbly life
around me is far more important.
the most from, keeping that one and going on no mail w/the others :) It's hard
to CHOOSE...they are all so inspiring! And then there's the problem with
learning about 'new' lists that sound like ones I'd enjoy and/or learn from; like
the HSfor Kerry list someone recently mentioned (to feed my interest in
politics) and the one you just mentioned.... 'imaginationtribe'...hmmm, makes me
want to check this out, too).
I thin what draws me to these lists is that I can find and connect w/a
'like-minded community'...something severely lacking in my real life in somewhat
rural Louisiana.
But BALANCE...is a key and what I need to focus on right now ;)
Thanks for your advice!

>>>>>>>Yes, this is a good idea, Ren! Problem is deciding which list I'm getting
