I can assure you that I am not forced to see your comments on the mailing
list. Indeed, unless I am on CC or the subject sounds very thrilling the mail
body never passes my eye.

So, IMHO that advantage not only has its drawbacks (information overload), it
is also mostly an illusion. Peoples forced _potential_ sight isnt really
helping us here at all.

And the drawback (information overload) is hitting those hardest, who have not
finetuned their procmail for month/years -- read: newcomers and volunteers.

Best,

Bjoern
