Please folks! Not all of us have the spare time that some on the list seem
to have. Most of us are, I suspect, mainly on this great list to gain
knowledge
about IRIS. Much of the clutter is driving valuable members off the list.
Please help strengthen this list by trying to keep the subjects more
in line with the subject of IRIS. I have learned a great deal from most of
you, but am sure I've missed some valuable posts since I have to delete so
much without reading
each post . Proper subject lines would be a great help to all of us and
perhaps help retain some valuable members.when the new message is of
interest only to one or few.

Same as above. Please consider more use of direct e-mail, ie
birthdays,pets, greetings, congratulations,welcome aboard etc. The message
will be just as appreciated by the intended recipient if sent off list and
be equally appreciated by the many on the list who are not interested in the
subject.
Now I'll duck off the list and wait for the many offended l-list members'
responses. Please send your messages direct and don't load up the list with
this non-iris subject.
Be kind and enjoy your blooms
