The fastest and easiest ways to contribute to reduce traffic are: to NOT send multiple copies of the same message (direct _and_ to the list) if your email client makes it possible and, even better, to not repost whole messages that every list subscriber already received. > I think in the short term having it available and making sure that > the majority of questions are answered in a way that any > inexperienced users can understand and use them first would at least > stop multiple updates of the web site. Me, I did _not_ ask that the web site is updated (with the exception of writing real big, just once, that the support here is from volunteers, not a paid call center). Speaking of answering question, the problem is that now many questions are either: not answered at all (because most experienced users just avoid like plague any list managed like this (*)) or answered in a way (tolerating and keeping alive empty or uninformative subjects) that makes it very hard for a newbie to find them in the archives, that is to avoid repeated questions. Since Jan 1st (1 week) I have seen 23 _ANSWERS_ to this list with the ONLY subject of "YOU MUST GIVE A SUMMARY HERE" All this has nothing to do with multiple updates of the website. It is the current behavior of the current volunteers which is very inefficient.
