BUT GOD TOLD NOAH THERE WOULDN'T BE ANOTHER FLOOD

     Yes, INSOFT-L has experienced a high volume of messages during the
     last two weeks.  The number of subscribers continues to grow (590 at
     present, not counting local redistribution addresses and network
     news readers), which contributes to the abundance of messages.

     Here's some ideas for surviving the deluge . . .

          What I'm Trying To Do

               1. Consolidate all messages related to a single topic
                  into one message;

               2. Send no more than five messages per day (six if one is
                  an announcement for the _I18N_ journal);

               3. Forward messages that don't need to be redistributed;

               4. (sigh) Reject (many) messages when a particular
                  discussion has run its course.

          What You Can Do

              1. If you are not interested in the topic of a particular
                  message, do the same thing I do when I receive an email
                  message from my ex-wife or my creditors (no extradition
                  treaty . . . thank you, Czech Republic)--press the "d"
                  key.
		
		  (That's a joke, you serious ones.)

		
_I18N_ JOURNAL

     The number of articles scheduled for _I18N_, a journal of the
     Association for the Internationalization of Computing Resources,
     also continues to grow:

          An extended review of Ken Lunde's new book _Understanding
          Japanese Information Processing_ will be conducted by Chiaki
          Ishikawa of Personal Media Corporation in Tokyo.

          An extended review of Emmanuel Uren's new book _Software
          Internationalization and Localization: An Introduction_ will
          be conducted by Dave Schnepper, Internationalization Engineer
          at Borland.

          An extended review of Bill Tuthill's new book _Solaris
          International Developer's Guide_, SunSoft Press, will be
          conducted by Gary Gocek, Software Engineer at Xerox.

	  An extended review of Jakob Nielsen's book _Designing User
	  Interfaces for International Use_ will be conducted by
	  Michael Bunney, Software Test Engineer at Microsoft.
