As I wrote in my earlier mail, posting "each new thread subject", that is, when a new thread gets started, on IRC. That would be, what, five new threads per day on average? The channel must be very quiet indeed, if that's considered spam :-)
It'd likely be a lot more than five if it were the encouraged form of error reporting. There are the (pre-existing) users of this mailing list to consider as well. When you add a bunch of noise ("site down", "site down 2", "re: site down 2" [it was just my connection lol]), you drown out the signal. Obviously when _you_ report an issue, it holds a lot more weight than if anyone who can figure out how a mailing list works reports an issue.
