Yeah, I'd agree with you to a certain point. If you use http mail servers like hotmail, excite etc the traffic would definitely be an impediment. Some of the servers do not appreciate mailing lists .... On the other side, the debian list is one of the most bubbly and helpful lists that I have seen. Can you believe I posted a query on 04 Sep 2k (Mon) in the morning, and somebody replied my mail on 03 Sep (Sun) before going to bed in the US ? Many people (like me) would like to keep things this way. In case the volume of mail is what is bothering you there is already a news group for debian. Somebody has replied already <news:muc.lists.debian.user>. USM Bish
