you contact them personally, and have a question. In this age of

let people know that I will be ignoring them.
I don't like it either and that is not exactly what I suggested. I was
talking about emails sent on the mailing list. Even if you're the one
who created the ion-general mailing list, those mails are not sent to
you personnaly. As far as I'm concerned, when I get a private email on
a software I'm involved on, my answer is always "Please, use the user
mailing list". One can then easily check whether the mail was received
on the mailing list or not... Then others who may have more time to
answer to newbie question can do it for me, which gives me more time
to answer "real" questions.
