No. Simply No. Period. Nowhere is written I'm in duty to read every
mail coming through this list. And I think you'll find few people
agreeing with you on this opinion here.

1.) I'm one of the 'more advanced' users, so I do post really seldom a
question but more often give answers.
2.) There's an archive. If I _really_ would have a question I'm able
to search the archive (first my private one, than the online
archive) if this topic was already handled.
And this method is quite more useful than reading every mail,
simply because chances are high you don't remember a very specific
topic that was handled 3 months ago only because you've read the
mails regarding to it. So a search in archives is obligatory. Now
if the search can't be avoided to be sure, why flooding your brain
with reading every single message you're currently _not_
interested in????
