When you subscribe, you get all the mails that areeposted to the ML. That way, you can post questions, get the answers, and you can answer to questions asked by other people. When you don't subscribe, you don't get the mails. That is you won't have the answers to the questions you ask. And you won't get the questions from other people, questions you might know the answers to. Globaly, it's bad netiquette to post to a ML you are not subscrbed to. people agree to answer questions from posters when these posters can in turn answer to questions from others. You can see it as a discussion group where the knowledge on a particulier subject is shared amongst many. Some have more knowledge in such part, but might lack in another part, an for an other guy will be more knowledgeable in that latter part, but will not be in the former. That's how things go. Ask questions, but be prepared to answer others. Regards, and welcome to XFree86 @ XFree86.org ! Yann. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
