The rant isn't addressed to you. Sorry of that wasn't clear. As a rule,
something marked as <rant></rant> is a  general comment inserted as an
aside because it happens to be relevant to this particular post.

I don't look at HK unless I need to consult the archives, and never use
it to post if I can avoid it. This mailing list is (as the name
implies) a *mailing list*. That's how most people interact with it. HK
is (IMHO) a misguided attempt to merge two modes of communication with
different traditions and expectations. I was much less annoyed by the
old archive format, which was easier to search and had the advantage of
*not* letting you post directly. However that's getting OT.

I would encourage you do that. Any half-decent MUA will do. I use
Evolution, others people use Thunderbird, Claws, Mutt etc. It doesn't
greatly matter.
