Maybe someone is in an 'emergency' or 'on the road' in an internet cafe
without access to their regular e-mail account. It's nice if you can
post under those circumstances.

It is also not really necessary to subscribe in order to read the
replies; they are available (after a short delay) at

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/11/threads.html

etc.

Hope this explains,

Johannes
