I used to try to follow the lists as email, and gave up years ago; this
one, however (whichever it is) is available on gmane as
gmane.linux.yellowdog.general (from news.gmane.org). So it's much easier
to skim out what you're trying to follow a/o have any hope of
understanding. Try it, you'll like it.
