I totally agree with Jaime. Since this is a 'GIS' list, questions regarding all kinds of GIS software are welcome. ESRI and non-ESRI. ESRI users have never raised issues regarding questions about other GIS software being posted here? Whenever I find such questions in my email I just skip or delete it not because I'm against that software. It's simply because I'm not a regular user of that software. Yeah there are a lot of ESRI questions too that dont interest me. It's just a matter of reading whats interesting and deleting whats not. Obviously there are going to be more ESRI based questions because of the wide spread use of that software.
I think this is a great forum for exchange of information, knowledge, concepts and solutions whether they are technical or not. Users of all kinds of software are being benefited here and the forum is good as it is.
How hard is it to hit the delete button for an uninteresting email???

Hi,
Just two cents from me too. Geocomm GIS List has been a really useful resource for GIS Users worldwide. It is all because of its intended participants. You would find spaming at any forum for any subject but there are ways to filter out or discard spamming messages.

Being the subscriber of this list and not to loose its charm because of its valueable audience I would take this opportunity if we can get some useful inputs from all around this list users.

How about the segmentation of the list messages based on its interest? Can we go for some thing like 'GIS Core' and 'GIS Software' related groups.

Any other suggestions ???

Thanks,
Ishfaq

This is pretty much why I opened this thread - To discuss issues such as
this and get a general consensus of how others feel and perhaps define
the list a little better.

That being said, if someone isn't interested in anything a list has to
offer, I'd recommend just unsubscribing. There's no reason to be
subscribed to a list and receive email that you has no interest in
reading.
