I don't mind putting subject-lines that contain r2l in a separate mailbox.
(if people will have the discipline to add them to the subject lines)

But I believe a mailing-list dedicated to discussing our projects would be
a better solution in the long run. And I personally find [ANN], [IP], etc.
subjects annoying.

So I suggest that all posts that relate to R2L will contain the word r2l
(in upper, lower or mixed case) and those that don't should not contain
it. If you want to use the actual word R2L in a subject (such as in one of
those "[was ... R2L ]" thread, use a hyphen or a tilde inside it. (r-2l,
r~2l, etc.)

A more experienced programmer does not make less bugs. He just realizes
what went wrong more quickly.
