Off-topic correspondence directed at an individual should be
sent to the individual, not to the mailing list.
You have (twice!) wasted the time of hundreds of busy people.
I ask you again to please stop it.

Now that you have doubled the number of your off-topic messages,
my anger has correspondingly doubled.
What do you expect when you take cuts in line? That nobody
will say anything?

Err, because somebody has to _make_ Perl 6 or there won't be a Perl 6.
Folks like to talk about it some before they start building it.

That doesn't have anything to do with Perl 6 either.
Questions about websites should be directed to the webmaster
of the website in question.
_I_ don't get perl6 mailing lists when I check perl.com.
I think the problem may be with the checker, rather than with
the web site.
When I "Go" after choosing "lists" from the drop-down it lists
plenty of non-perl6 lists, including a "List of Perl Mailing Lists"
that includes yet more non6 lists.
You made a mistake. Apologize and do it right from now on, don't
try and wiggle out of it.
