The first sentence is what makes it a positive feedback -- meaning something has changed for better according to a reader. The additional virtual box bit gives others somewhat useful info. > Here is my message dated Tuesday 15 January 2008 "We will have to send > it to them every month. Who has time to do all this.

Think about it this way: if we don't respond to your complaint, then it gives you more *masalaa* to add to your mails here. So, it's a win-win for you anyhow. And frankly, if you have such reservations on reproducing your feedback from the mailing lists, then we won't do it.
