The Questar List:

send to:  alt-telescopes-questar-request@shore.net

no subject

in the body of the message:  subscribe alt-telescopes-questar <<your e-mail>>


As to volume, I hear a lot of folks who complain of being 'swamped' with
E-Mail from mailing lists, but the solution is simple:  just delete it
unread when you don't have the time.  I subscribe to six or seven mailing
lists plus run one myself, and get about 250 or so E-Mail messages a day.
On a day when I have time, I read 'em all.  On a really busy day, I just
read the Rollei and Leica ones.  It's a matter of priorities.

In any event, there may be three or four Questar messages a day, not a
crippling amount.  Of course, Questar IS the Leica of telescopes -- svelte,
stacked, and sexy -- so the quality of the discourse makes up for the small
volume!
