Please, please, please, can we limit this mailing list to problems and
solutions? I cleaned out 340 backlogged info-vax messages last night, and
this morning there were 50 more waiting. I don't know about the rest of you,
but I simply can't handle this kind of volume. Much of it is useful, so I
don't want to unsubscribe, but is it really necessary to carry on discussions
about posting patches etc. for over two weeks? To keep up I would have to
spend an hour and a half every day doing nothing but reading mail, and I
just don't have that kind of time to spare.
