 Hmm.  Yes I do feel guilty.  Maybe I can keep up on Usenet.

thunderbird and the gentoo group is easy...

 Well, you can withdraw from the volume of mail
 but using gmane to interface to the list:
 gmane.org

 Just use an interface like gmane.org

It's occurred to me - the mailing list is gatewayed onto NNTP.  Maybe I
could keep up there.

 or follow the postings (when time permits) via
 your favorite mail reader.

 Gmane if very cool and you do not need to post or
 delete messages, only use on the rare occasion you
 have time. If you hose your gentoo system, you can get
 quick help from any web browser; no need to re-subscribe
 to the list, just configure gmane and those mail packets
 go BYE_BYE!

 Mail readers are threaded and an easy way to catch up
 on important things by just browsing topicsjust
 subscribe to linux.gentoo.user

 Just to say I'll be withdrawing from this list in a few days,
 unsubscribing actually, mainly so that I can go back to being an Emacs
 developer...

BTW, you've never told us your opinion of vi...
