I believe that Daniel targets rather people like me, who am new on the List and have (unfortunately) never been a Unicode staff member. Nevertheless, I don't believe that anybody's subscription to this List result from a «random». To meet Daniel's request, the «technical» threads Daniel is likely to be interested in, might be given a «(TECHNICAL)» attribute in the Subject at some point of the thread, so that it will be easy to filter them and follow back in the Archive. I hope that helps... Marcel («implementing» Unicode on a keyboard layout hopefully designed for a national standard)
