Well the thing is... I never subscribed to vim_vim in the first place.
I learned of its existence when I started getting unsolicited mail from
vim_vim some time in March 2015.
Since I didn't find the stuff all that useful (it looks like a place
where you report bugs..?) I thought of un-subscribing from vim_vim...
and like a good (un)subscriber (who never subscribed in the first place)
I read the blurb at the end of the last message that I received from
vim_vim and it states the following:
"You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.

Hence I deducted that vim_dev and vim_vim are somewhat related and I was
getting the vim_vim stuff because I am subscribed to vim_dev...
Since I never subscribed to vim_vim... I thought I might not be able to
post to that list. Why take chances when you don't have to... To be on
the safe side I posted to the next best thing: vim_dev.
Now you are telling me that user-related stuff should be addressed to
vim_vim... but that's precisely the stuff I am getting from the vim-use
mailing list - like I always did...!
Why would there be two user-related vim lists active at the same time
anyway..?
Also... please note that to make matters even more confusing neither
vim_use nor vim_vim are mentioned on the "For information, visit
http://www.vim.org/maillist.php";.
Please clarify.
Thanks,
CJ
