Most users don't sign up > for things. Doesn't matter. If the important messages aren't posted or you have to extract them yourself the effect is the same.

The least you can do to make everybody happy, is allow pull-based access to the important news items, and devote some more words on how to disable your 'feature'. -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo for Mac OS X Project -- Interim Lead -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
