Well, I agree, but somebody could just have sent a courteous little
note to the person asking, pointing him/her to the right
direction/web-site. It is great to have put together a very useful
web-site, but you can't expect everyone to know all about it.

I am kind of shocked by the acrimony contained in some of the emails
I've seen lately on this list, in reply to some lighthearted questions.

After all, this is only a mailing list. It's easy to just skim the
messages and delete what you don't care about. Takes me 1 minute a
day.

Hi Laurent,

my suggestion is to put the website of the swiss list together with the unsubscribe information
automatically at the end of every msg sent through the swiss list.

That might help to prevent some e-mails.

Regards,
Matthias.
