The problem is sheer mail volume. 100-150 messages a day on a single
mailing list is too much to read if you have a job || life. That's what
the essential problem is. I left for three days one time, and I come back
to find 400+ messages from this mailing list... that's a little too much
to read without shirking some other duty. So, even though those mailing
lists exist, they are not alleviating the volume problem, which is what
I'm trying to address.
