Given the fact that unseen hands have kindly recruited around 65,000 tire-kickers into the community this effect is hardly a surprise. I don't think railing at them is going to help, to be honest. I think your approach - to try to isolate it to osol-discuss and build up the real community of developers in the rest of the lists - is the best strategy. Beyond an occasional skim I hardly visit osol-discuss any more. S.
