On a practical note, it isn't as if this ML is getting flooded with hundreds of messages of traffic a day. For those who could benefit from the technical discussions and user input, I don't see why someone would disconnect themselves from that for the reason of saving themselves 15 minutes a day. As long as there are "signals", the "noise" should be dealt with and ultimately set aside. -- Luke L. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
