your recieving those emails because you choose (in your My Account
settings) to received emails, you can deselect this and then just read
any post that interests you and ask questions of your own.

I am using a newsreader capable of showing posting in their threads in a
hierarchical view.
I read entire messages only if I mean the topic is of interest to me, if
I have spotted something interesting in the first lines of a posting or
if I mean, that I can immediately help writing a reply without much
efforts on my side what is the case when the answer pops up in my mind
already as I see the question.
It was the topic "How do you use this list?" what attracted my attention
so I looked into the content of your posting and decided to reply.
My advice: download e.g. Thunderbird and use it as a newsreader instead
of getting through not by thread and date structured piles of emails.
I actually go through each single posting spending at least a second on
each (sometimes a bit faster, sometimes much slower).
This gives an effort of about 10 minutes of very concentrated work
towards selection of interesting postings for detailed reading on a day
with a huge traffic of around 600 new postings.
Over years of reading I improved much the speed of perception at first
glance if a posting or a thread is in my eyes worth to read it in
detail. As I also in between know who writes here the best quality
replies I usually read carefully all the details in postings of such
authors skipping from reading another postings in same thread.

Hope this helps.

Claudio

Find an NNTP server and read it as a newsgroup.  

If all else fails you can read it via gmane.org.

Actually having mailing lists send you mail is insane.

I did heard a rumor that they finally fixed the "follow-up"
function that had been broken since day 1.  Still, it does a
bad reputation similar to AOL used to...

Just curious: what's insane about it?

+1 QOTW

I remember an episode of M*A*S*H (first there was the book, then there
was an American TV show) where some General or other high ranking army
type said, "This is a press conference.  The last thing I want to do is
answer a lot of questions."

Once upon a time, I would have agreed.  However, it is becoming increasingly 
difficuilt to get to the newgroups directly from the workplace.  The only 
recourse is to use the mailing lists, such as those provided by various sites, 
such as python.org.  This might also account for why so many folks top post 
rather than bottom post as postings look like email.  And in a corporate 
setting, most people use top posting for email, pushing the history down and 
out of the way.
