I agree with Nick, that Dave's post was not terrifically informative, and that such reports would be best on sage-release -- and also that there has been a lot of Solaris-related posts on sage-devel recently. But did that warrant creating a new mailing list, and also prompting someone who has done an enormous amount of work on Sage to leave? With a good mailreader and other tools, it's very easy to ignore/filter/delete posts that one does not want to read. I'm surprised and confused that this issue apparently boils down to "too much email", and think it's a shame that Dave left over this.
