Don't just hit "reply" to the last message from that list, which usually is about a totally unrelated issue. Doing that, you mess up the threads, which makes the two discussions very hard to keep separate, and diminishes a lot *your* chances to get help. Many users, especially the expert ones which may help you most, receive so much email that display it with "collapsed threads", ie showing only the first message in each thread. You replied to a subject "Presentation freezes under RH 8" asking about 3D acceleration. Many users will only see a collapsed thread with original title "Presentation freezes under RH 8", will delete it entirely with one keystroke, and go on. Even those expert on 3D acceleration. Please never reply to start a new unrelated thread. Please only start one separate thread per issue. And make sure that the subject is clear *without* having to read the actual message (which you did, of course) Above all, anybody, NEVER answer to messages like this with anything else than an explanation like this. If you put advice in a hidden place nobody will see it.
