Just out of curiosity, would you mind defining "support mailing lists"?
 I am on a fair few (although i've just switched to using this list via

manage them with Mozilla Mail/Thunderbird

BTW, i really enjoyed the rant.  A little too much swearing for my
liking, but the tone was one of good natured frustration with a little
