[KS] Re: Korean newspaper clippings

[Henny Savenije]

I agree too, I really enjoy reading this list, and I really appreciated the
input, but I would have been happier with the links, now I felt compelled
to read it all. It took a lot of time, while if it was just one mail with a
short summery and the links I could have forwarded it to my office and read
it over there in my spare time or just delete it, over information tends to
force the receiver to use the filters or delete button to get rid of the
overload.

Actually I would be happy to hear if somebody disagrees.
