Thanks for the explaination and link for news.gmane.org, I didn't know 
it exists.

however I don't agree with this sentence :

> In any case do not complain that you get emails from a mailings list. 
> That is the idea and logical result of joining a mailing list.

And I guess that others neither do, it doesn't respond to the remarks below.
I would like a mailing list to be somewhere between a debate and a 
informal bulletin to which you can contribute, keeping in mind to make 
things easy for the recipients, especially when they are numerous.

Obviously everybody don't see it that way.
