Hello --
Some of the people posting to this mailing list don't seem to understand how to write a decent, readable reply to a mailing list thread. This makes for far more noise than signal, as people wade through six copies of the foundation-l footer or eight old and irrelevant replies trying to find the content of the reply to the previous message.
The Toolserver wiki has a fantastic page that explains how to reply to a mailing list thread the Right Way.[1] If you suspect you've been Doing It Wrong, please have a read.
Thanks!
