I would appreciate that, but please learn some mailing list etiquette
first. Otherwise, your contributions may be ignored by many people on
the list.

Some examples:
* make sure each email adds something valuable to the conversation
* structure your emails well:
  * learn how to bottom-post, even if your email client doesn't support
    it
  * learn how to quote others' emails to provide context to your
    response
* try to write succinctly
* keep the volume of your emails down:
  * write one response to a thread each day
  * search for similar threads before starting a new one
  * wait until an active thread is finished before starting a new one

Demonstrate you can do the things above, and I'll gladly set this up
for you.

Forum spam.
