It's fantastic that this is documented and translated!  But, I also 
would hate to discourage people from using this list for support; Huji's 
question was a perfectly legitimate use of labs-l. Encouraged, even!

Labs-l is typically quite low-traffic, but for those who would prefer a 
low-traffic announcement-only mailing list you can move your 
subscription from labs-l to labs-announce:
