Hi > Whoops, missed "From" (thus missing mails never replied to). Adding it > in, we get: Just to a quick note of appreciation for your effort to actually do the analysis. My (very rough) summary gives the following breakdown: gmail 28 other commercial providers 17 domains with more than one sender 30 domains with one sender 134 (yay!) I have now seen the argument: "everybody uses gmail thesdays, sad, but you can't change that" on a number of mailing lists and it is really neat to see that this does not have to be the case. I have two observations to make: Loads of people who have been on the internet for some decades remember the good old days fondly, and are sad at what the internet (well, mainly web) has turned in to. My view is that the good parts of the internet are still there and are better than ever - it is just that the good parts are completely dwarfed by the amount of rubbish that is being added even more quickly. So this is my theory of internet inflation (similar to cosmic inflation): "The bright stuff that matters is still there, but the vacuous stuff (vacuum) in between is growing and making the good stuff hard to find." And I consider this list one of the bright points on the internet, amongst the darkness of all the facebooglegram. Then the second observation relates to the protocol discussions here: A while ago some beginner woodworking article had the (paraphrased) line in it: "To get started, we recommend making your own workbench. And if you are thinking of buying a workbench, reconsider if woodworking is really for you" So at the risk of being a elitist, I tend to take comments on protocol nuances and extensions a lot more seriously from a selfhosted email address, on the basis that the poster has some form of experience/expertise relating to running an internet facing service. regards marc
