Hi, if I may offer two pieces of advice for a successful discussion on mailing lists.

This is me telling you I am going to do that. I > will send you the first part tomorrow. First, try not to "lead" the discussion. Open a topic, see what people have to say, digest, and reply a couple days later. Repeat that process. If you "drive" things by being very present and writing lots of things in a small timeframe, people will quickly tire of engaging and you will be talking to a brick wall. My second recommendation is, and I admit this is not always possible or easy, try to limit the number of discussions you open simultaneously to one, otherwise people will get confused easily and mix your different issues together ESPECIALLY if the subject is imprecise. Also, I have the impression that the message I am replying to might contain a mix of quoted material and your original writing but it is not obvious to me which are your words and which are copied from elsewhere. I case you have used text formatting to distinguish - e.g. bold, or color - it has not surived!
