[matilda] Notes on wednesday's meeting & the curse of E-Mail

[R&A]

hi Chris,

much as i have always sympathised with persons "not on email", i agree 
that moderating for an individual quota doesn't fit to my personality or 
the other persons "on email"...

guess Rocky (or anybody else considering email a curse) could configure 
his inbox for digest mode, so it wouldn't be flooded by our emails...

(there was an archetypal curse)
