I would like to add me to this growing list. I do not read any 'news' anymore
since at least a year. Having to wade through megabytes of trivia to find
a tiny bit of information/interesting stuff is too much of a time waste.

We could reduce the volume if we split this list into several lists, most
notably a 'bash' list where would go all the discussion about bash
problems, a 'compiler' list, where would go all the compiler/linker/gdb
discussion items, and a 'general' list, where we could discuss about the
universe in general and gnu/cygnus in particular...
