Ezra you are not the first person to ask this question, Apache has always used, and will continue to use, mailinglists to manage, record and distribute postings. You are free to use mirrors like gmane to access the content but with millions of messages handled per day it is extremely unlikely that we will choose to replace a technology which works and works well for the core functionality. d. ******************************************************************************************************* The information in this e-mail is confidential and for use by the addressee(s) only.
