The list was, before the forum link, a place where serious wine-users could
discuss problems.
With the forum link we have been flooded with beginners queries that barely
merit a RTFM / RTFFAQ and the nois/signal ratio has become very strong.
Which leads me to reconsider my membership of this list, as it is now mainly a
waste of time for advanced users; in which case I would also feel compelled
to remove myself from the various apps I am maintainer of.
Cheers,
Ron.
