Hi :)
Sorry for double-posting yet again :(

This list does have 2 very distinctly different purposes 
1.  as user-support 
2.  as a discussion list
Clearly people are having trouble with this list when they need it for 1 but 
many of us enjoy it for 2.  

Perhaps an official user-support forum at Launchpad could send emails to the 
discussion list?
Regards from
Tom :)

Except that you then have to log into  the forum to respond...

Forums suck for active discussion like this for people who are active in many 
different venues... they are great however for a Help' type of repository.

That said, there is no reason we couldn't have both... and one thing I'd like 
to see are official forums that are populated with answers to FAQs asked on the 
lists that people can be referred to if all they want is an answer to one 
specific question...
