I completely disagree. I'm glad the embedded PC list owners were thoughtful enough to migrate me to the new list. They are experts, they know what they're doing, and I trust their judgment. My only complaint is that the new subject lines don't have the widely used "[group-name]" prefix. I might guess that some people rely on that to organize e-mail searches for specific group content. -Jeff _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
