Wouldn't it be an idea to move this mailing list to Usenet, rather than flooding
everyone's e-mail address with 100+ mails every day? I think it would give some
advantages:

* Less traffic on people's inboxes.
* Possibility of posting binaries/large code samples. If people don't want 'em,
they don't have to download them.
* Eaisier to keep an overview of threads, rather than all mails arriving in a big
mess.

I'm sure you've considered this before, why did you decide against this?
