good day all,

I don't think attachments should go. They are an important and intuitive
part of using groups like this. Adding attachments are easy and having
them right there with the email and I can save those I want to keep. It
is far better than the Yahoo model where you had to go to yahoo to view
the attachments.

I think we are in general missing the real issue. This group has bumped
up against that limit more than once. The "limit" is the issue not
what we should or shouldn't keep. Once you start trying to trim away
some of "fat" you will end up constantly chasing your tail around
trying to "purge" and the more you do the more reluctant you get to
delete anything.

Todd and others have already suggested that the group fund itself in
order to support more storage space but there seems to the be an
underlying unspoken hesitation of many.

If I belong to 10 (or more) such groups on io and I contributed $1 per
year in order support the cost of extra storage then I would consider
that $10 well spent, not only do I benefit but so do others, perhaps
those others will benefit even more than I, so much the better.

Hans, Ashar - I think this is the direction the group needs to move
toward, not this round robin fussing over what bits of "stuff" to get
rid of every time the group reaches it's limit. There have been a
couple of suggestions of how the group can manage this but it doesn't
appear as though there has actually been any movement in getting there.
Perhaps IO groups needs to consider implementing some business model so
that groups such as this can easily pay for more storage.

respectfully,

cheers, Graham ve3gtc
