Hm. So this guy's not really subscribing to the list, but wants us subscribers to help you out? I think this is considered bad form -- I don't think the mailing list is intended to allow people to mooch help without actually being part of it (and putting up with the volume). Perhaps I'm just being self-righteous? What's the consensus? Personally, I've been mailing help responses to the list (so everyone can see them), and to the list *only*, in order to prevent this behavior (and keep legit subscribers from getting duplicate messages). On the other hand, the volume is quite overwhelming, so I can understand the desire to just get quick help that way. I've always thought that this list should be replaced by a newsgroup, but I guess that's already been discussed to death. I just wonder how much more the volume can grow before the mailing list is considered impractical.... BTW (off-topic): since I'm adding to the volume anyway, I thought I'd just thank those who responded to my video card question. I'm going with the Riva TNT, just so you know. And that Linux hardware link (http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~comech/tools/CheapBox.html) was *very* informative -- highly recommended.
