Hrm. This being the dev list, I don't see why the newbie issue is a |
| 9 |
problem. In addition, if a newbie does not wish to subscribe, there |
| 10 |
are always the forums and IRC. Forums require registration, and IRC |
| 11 |
requires at least a minimum of effort, why not mailing lists? |

Is subscribing to a list really so much to ask? |

I have multiple accounts, and requiring subscription doesn't |
| 19 |
cause me any problems. What exactly are you referring to here? |
