I guess Marcus et al are right about my choice of words. Machine filtering does not solve the noise problem - we have long had the concept of avoiding "I saw Mir" messages in favour of those that provide data and analyses that help other observers improve their own work. So I would like to find those messages that contain new descriptions of working methods, or previously unknown facts about satellites detected through observations/photos, without reading a long stream of repetitive postings. /Björn 2011/5/25 Markus Mehring <m.m@gmx.net> > On Wed, 25 May 2011 13:04:26 -0700, you ("Paul Grace" > <paulgrace@lookoutranch.com>) wrote: > ... > >As for mailboxes filling up with 'noise', a rule such as "image posts must > >contain [image] in the subject" would permit trivial machine filtering, > ... > "noise" issue has always been a matter of keeping off-topic posts and > fruitless or repetitive debates down so that the volume and number of > e-mails don't explode.
