You received at least one reply before posting this rant. I'd suggest
using a more suggestive Subject: line to make sure your mail is noticed
in future. It may also help to craft a better 'From:' line, too -
"linux" on it's own looks spammy.
Regarding better results from the mailing list, using a threaded mail
reader (such as mutt or thunderbird) and filtering mail from the list
into it's own folder, are two ways you can improve your experience.
