    Out of interest, how would that solve anything? So I use an ISP instead.
    Then I have to download all my mail to home to read it. Talk about a
    total waste of time.

    It's hard enough tracking my mail as it is, let alone having to have another
    account just to handle a certain mailing list.

    I disagree, and while I may be in the minority on this list, I am certainly
    not in the minority across the board, given that virtually every mailing list
    I am subscribed to DOES prepend a tag to the subject line.

    This I can buy. But it is, IMHO, the only valid argument against doing so.

    Of course. Wouldn't want to interrupt our regular traffic for too long :)
