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. Arnd <><
