Hi, as a user of this mailing list for many years, I want to say ...

Please stop doing this.

Or (devils advocate), consider doing it the other way around. Provide
all information here, and then post on the forum asking people to join
the mailing list. And if that feels inappropriate, please consider how
what you are doing is any different.

There are 100's of people on this mailing list. I really cannot
understand why you think it is a good idea to expect 100's
of people to go to the forum to read some information
that you do not bother to show here.

People here have made a decision that they prefer to be
on the mailing list, and perhaps not on the forum. I wish you
would be aware and respect that decision. Many of us made that
decision because we consider mailing lists to be vastly preferable
to web forums.

If you want help from people here, then it is polite to provide
the information here. And you will get far more people reading
your questions, and increase the chances of getting useful
answers.
