PS:  I counted them.  It wasn't 68.  It was in the 40s because I interact
with each person's comments. Do people post to the list not to get a
response?? I am sorry, but it is NOT unreasonable to have that many emails
when someone is very very active in a group of 17 people.  I am not going
to force anyone to conform to my communication style which I tried last
term which was I used to rail on the fact that some people don't
participate at all.  I stopped doing it when I realized what I was doing;
trying to make people in my image.  I ask the same courtesy.  And like it
or not, dealing with this email list is part of the job.  If we met more
often, there would be less emails.  As I say periodically, the fact that we
do not meet monthly is ridiculous to me.

     I don't mind the 68 email from Caryn Ann. I don't mind the snarky
