I find this comment quite inappropriate. Do you think that news about Debian are burden on one of the most important news media Debian has? I already filter Planet's content by looking at the titles (e.g. I don't read my blog posts :) or when the subject doesn't seem interesting for me). I'm quite sure you do pretty the same too. Debian Planet is also a way to communicate with our users, upstreams and contributors. Thus, its quite natural to publish news about the development happening in Debian on Planet and I won't consider that a burden, even if it's published on a dedicated mailing list. Besides, the traffic on d-d-a (and even with d-announce accumulated) is very very low… compared to the number of posts published on Planet each month. So, you're against basically a few messages by month? > I always read my mail (possibly with a delay), but I look at planet > only when I have some spare time, and then I'd prefer to not see > there again the stuff that I have already read via mail. > In any case, there are several ways to filter rss feeds. You might have a look to reduce the "burden". A quick google search brought me to [1] and [2].
