Hi Phan Tien and Pablo and all, Phan Tien, thank you for give us your opinion it´s very important know it and thank you pablo for reply it and allow us also reply it.
I really know how bored is receive a lot of undesirable message on our mailbox so every unrelated message are not posted, and for member that not want receive mail and make part of discussion they can change your profile to: - Abridged Email (No more than 1 email per day) - Digest Email (Approximately 1 email per day), - No email (Read and reply topics on-line) Very short messages like "thank you' per example is also moderate just because I dont want this group become like too much other with thousand of messages to read. The Group Etiquette page ( http://groups.google.com/group/eslpodcast/web/group-etiquette) help us to give a good discussion on group minimizing the possibility to bored someone but of course is impossible satisfy everyone. About the web-links, I receive a lot of promote and spam emails on group every day, Those emails are deleted by me, after I a web link to be posted I myself access it in order to certify that´s safety. Pablo is a old partner of this group and every link he posted is safety and related with english without concerned about promote websites. Regards, Ed.
