I meand powerpc-dev and powerpc-embedded. The -embedded list had
gathered hundreds of subscribers over the years that were subscribed
only in 'digest' or 'no mail' mode and were totally overwhelmed
with the traffic on powerpc-dev. Contrary to what you expect to be
the minimum level of intelligence required to subscribe to development
mailing list, a huge number of them subsequently flooded the list
with messages saying 'please unsubscribe me please' or the like.
Needless to say, there was a clear instruction on the bottom of each
mail telling you how to unsubscribe.
