I am very aware that this is the solution you offer, but that does not answer the question ... _why_? Why do you want a developer mailing list with only one subscriber while everyone else uses mono-hackers for development discussion? Why not just create an *open* mono development mailing list which everyone can use to discuss mono's technical development and create a different mailing list for Ximian's secrets? This way mono can be developed with the benefit of full community participation. I see no reason why you continue to insist on combining a developer mailing list with a secret list where you discuss internal Ximian confidential information. If mono is a community project, as opposed to a Ximian project with limited community participation, then this should be rectified. > > You said you'd create the list when you returned from Mexico and when you > > didn't I asked and you gave this excuse.

It is not a matter of what *I* use to discuss mono development if everyone else is using mono-hackers. Why on earth would I want to join a mailing list where I am the only subscriber?
