Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: RE: Keeping up w/list Email
Casey,
Keeping up is definitely a problem. When I have the time, I browse a sampling of all messages of topics that sound like they might apply to me. That way I get a little more familiar with posters and sometimes uncover those "gems" you're talking about.
When I'm pressed for time or returning from a few days away, I'm fairly ruthless at deleting all messages except those from folks like Steve Adams, Gaja Vaidyanatha, Jared Still, Rachel Carmichael, and several others. That's where I find the best "gems".
Also, after a while you realize that you probably won't entirely miss out on most of the "gems", since those questions will inevitably be asked and answered again...and again, and again - an endless supply of "newbie" DBAs. 8^) Moreover, lots of good stuff is more or less permanently posted on various websites, such as OTN, MetaLink, Steve Adams' Ixora, etc.

Not sure how others handle getting behind on mail, but work lately leaves me precious little time to keep up. Just spent the better part of a month clawing back through 6000 odd messages that queued up after a period away from the list.
My curiosity lies w/how others handle the situation. I've always been reluctant to can the folder contents, as there's always gems hidden in there somewhere. Now I'm totally caught up and it's a bloody big relief. Gems were there too. :-)
Anyone find themselves in the same boat from time to time or do you just click, shift+left mouse and delete em' all?
