I actually DO subscribe to this list via gmail. However, I seldom bother
doing so through webmail, because I like my information to come to me,
rather than spending my time logging on, waiting for pages to refresh, etc.
I have long experience in group communication and on-line knowledge
accumulation (see, for example,
http://www.deepwoods.com/transform/pubs/Community.htm). My focus has always
been on the ease and efficiency with which individuals share knowledge with
their peers ("the rising tide lifts all boats"). My experience with
RHEL/CentOS is not as deep, and I'm eager to learn. I'd just like to help
bridge the gap that--to my observation--impedes knowledge transfer.
