Thanks & look forward to it's activation. However, I noticed on the new list this post: > On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 8:39 PM, Claudius Hubig <nfs_2...@chubig.net> wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> am I right in assuming that nobody filled out a Gmane-subscription >> yet?

The purpose of using gmane.org is so that you needn't use email to review or post, and instead use nntp. Anyone can "view" the new list via: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community If one has to subscribe to the list directly (rather than using the gmane.org subscription process), they might as well just use email. The purpose of gmane.org & nntp is so that you aren't flooded with emails. I actively participate in over 10 high traffic mail lists daily. If I didn't use nntp, my inbox(s) would become quite unmanageable. Please reconsider enabling posting from nntp w/gmane.org. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list vbox-users@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
