No, it wasn't clear. When you said "It's not a vague hint", it wasn't clear
if you meant "It's a clear instruction" or "It's not a hint at all". I
certainly was sending email to a publically archived mailing list and
included a raw email address, which is what the quoted text refers to.
In any case, thanks for the clarification.
