Touchy, touchy!
It's no bother, and I love seeing that kind of suggestion. I'm just suggesting that you post it in a more appropriate place so that the person(s) who ought to respond to it can see it.
I am subscribed to too many mailing lists now, and I have been subscribed to many others that I can't keep up with. Most of the messages in high-volume mailing lists are not relevant to me so I waste a lot of time if I try to keep up with them. So yes, I am very reluctant to subscribe to (yet another) another mailing list just to post a message and then receive another flood of messages that don't concern me.
Then use the gmane newsreader interface (or web interface) and set your subscription for nomail.
The (main) Cygwin mailing list is an example of a high-volume list. I wrote a few paragraphs intended to help other understand how to install it and I put that in my web site. It was not my intent to leave it there permanently, but the only comment I got back was that they did not want to have the documentation spread out in many places. So experiences such as that has contributed to my attitude.
You have my sympathy. If you want to make a difference, post where those who care and can respond will see it. Or don't, but don't expect results. Cheers, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
