I wonder if others have been as overwhelmed as I by the sheer volume of
messages on the listserv over recent weeks. Obviously, this is
positive evidence that there is much to say about VN, and many who wish
to participate in the conversation. I would be the last to suggest a
harsher editorial policy to restrict the flow of electronic
communications. On the other hand, perhaps some form of voluntary
restraint might keep each day's messages to a more reasonable level?
It occurred to me that if all of us agreed to send no more than one
message to the listserv a day, that might be a modest step in the right
direction. Do others agree?

All private editorial communications, without exception, are read by both co-editors.
