It is also helpful to sort the incoming ADS-L messages into their own
folder. (You can set your email reader to do that automatically.) That way
they don't get mixed in with your other email messages and you can look at
the ADS-L messages at your convenience. (You could even sort the ones from
Barry into their own folder.)

I delete most of Barry's messages unread, but I'm glad he posts them. While
I am not especially interested in food terms, it is nice to have the
citations that Barry has found in the ADS-L archive when a question arises.
