There's no need to read every word of every message. If the title doesn't
interest me and the message is from <this> group, then I just delete it. The
whole task takes only a second. If the title is interesting and the message
isn't too long, then I read it; else if it's too long, then I delete it as
intended for an audience with more time. News groups are just as noisy as
mailing lists in my experience. I receive <this> mailing list in order to
force myself to pay attention to <this> technology; the messages come to me
"automatically".

I agree I think this should be put into a newsgroup. Just today I have
gotten 70 emails from this group!
You can always browse the messages with Deja.com and you can post if you
setup a free account with them.

As long as it were "attached" to deja, it would be fine, but my firewall
blocks the news port, so I would be out of luck. Also, I think that mail
serves a purpose that a newsgroup does not. It seems that it's easier to
send a mail to a group for a configuration error, get an answer, and move
on without having to subscribe to a list or service.

No offense, but has anyone ever considered to put this whole mailinglist
into a newsgroup? We must be generating tons of traffic.
