Congratulations. Hope you enjoy the email fire hose - LKML so far this month has been averaging some 1,153 mails a day - and that's *after* filtering out all of Greg KH's for-stable-review patch bombs. "Note that nobody reads every post in linux-kernel. In fact, nobody who expects to have time left over to actually do any real kernel work will read even half. Except Alan Cox, but he's actually not human, but about a thousand gnomes working in under-ground caves in Swansea. None of the individual gnomes read all the postings either, they just work together really well." -- Linus Torvalds Linus wrote that when LKML was running about 200 posts a dsay.... Most sane people only subscribe to the lists for the subsystems they are interested in, and/or get really good at using procmail or other mail sorting/filtering software.
