How do we keep the number of postings manageable?   

Ironically, the more postings there are, the more likely people  are to 
delete without looking at any of them!

Here are a couple  of suggestions (suggestions, not guidelines - I  don't 
want to become a  "list cop") for cutting down on the number of  postings...

1. Only  post the same message once a week.  People don't  want to have a  
reminder four times a week about your event.  Trust that if  they are  
interested they will open your message and read it. Just be sure to  give a  very 
descriptive and concise subject line "headline."

2. Consider  combining postings instead of doing one for each  event - IE 
"AUDITIONS,  OPENINGS, CLASSES AT CUYAHOGA LITTLE THEATER."   I know that this  
contradicts what I just said about being specific, but it could cut the  number 
of postings by a full third.

If any of you have other suggestions,  please post them to the  neopal yahoo 
group at _http://groups.yahoo.com/group/neopal/_ 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/neopal/) 

And for complete FAQs including how to unsubscribe, switch  to  digest or 
one-at-a-time posting, problems with aol, how to go on  hiatus, etc.  see the 
NEohioPAL FAQ's at _http://www.fredsternfeld.com/faqs.htm_
