Indeed!
It's become hard, even for me, as addicted to it as I am, to sort through 
the list.
One BIG reason for it is that some people re-name threads, probably to make 
them more appropriate to their contents. Some even correct titles for 
spelling, or to remove a word, or a complete rephrasing. But what happens 
with this is that we get multiples threads talking about the same main 
topic! So, who do we reply to, in which thread, and should we reply on both?
Yikes! Holy Fractal Propagation, Batman!

Before branching out with new Titles, we should really ask ourselves if it 
is truly necessary.

I've been reducing my postings a lot lately, trying to wait till the end of 
the day, to reply to a thread when aware of what most have said about it. 
You know how enthusiastic I can be, so this effort is not easy to maintain!

One other thing: we should try to reply to people personally for single word 
or sentence replies, such as "thank you", "cool", "thanks for sharing", and 
"I agree".

I've seen a lot of people over the years either refuse to join Puptcrit for 
the sheer volume of emails, and others quitting suddenly because the 
postings have gotten intense.

Let's try to manage ourselves a bit better. Every effort counts.
