Reminds me of those people I know that tell me, "I have a telephone, but I never answer it," though they expect anyone that they call to answer theirs. It's a seriously flawed approach. How does someone new contact you? Or someone who's had to change addresses. They can't, they can't even arrange to contact you. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
