Since the beginning of the "Ethernal September" in the openoffice.org domain.

The amount of meta-topics on unsuscribe, unsubscribed authors, gmane, attachments, Tofu etc becomes almost as distracting as spam, particulary on [email protected].

Today's facebook people do not understand mailing lists.

I belong to to several mailing lists. I get messages from all those who are subscribed and my email program sorts them into their respective folders. I also follow a few newsgroups on Usenet using the same email program. I followed this list via Usenet for the longest time before I realized it was also accessible as a "mailing list." My question is, how common is it for mailing lists to be accessible via Usenet? This one is the only one that I use that does this. I also think this is (partially) some of the reason for the confusion for some of the readers.

Related, of all of the mailing lists I belong to, this is the only one where people who are NOT subscribed can send and post messages. This makes no sense to me whatsoever.
