Usenet is still alive and working nicely. I subscribe to most of the Apache lists using gmane. As far as blog software and AI extensions; are you volunteering to set it up and maintain it on your hardware? Apache projects are volunteer efforts there is no corporate structure with large budgets and dedicated IT staffs. If I remember correctly the full-time Infrastructure staff is 5 people backed by volunteers with the requisite skills from all of the other projects. I subscribe to a number of other support mailing lists and they all have the same problem with people not understanding the unsubscribe process. The difference between this list and for instance the SeaMonkey list, is that we have a higher percentage of users that are less technically oriented. Those people are going to require a bit more understanding and hand-holding. Regards Keith
