That's simply not true. You were told that those were added by each INDIVIDUAL list owners, including whomever has been an admin on your list Mr. Laurent. Not to mention, you are always free to remove it if you like. There are no secret rules, just a large volume of email headed for lists where the sun employees directly working on some of the projects need to post to lists but don't have the need or the desire to subscribe to the list because many get far too much email as it is. It's very simple. People with OS.org aliases/addresses tend to be individuals working on specific parts or projects and bother to subscribe to the lists they're interested in. e. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
