Hi,

John: You don't appear to be subscribed to the debian-user mailing list

yet so I'm not sure if you saw the two helpful responses that your mail

got (below).

Everyone else: Is it worth doing this? Is it annoying to everyone else?

Should I have sent it directly and only to John? Should I have not done

anything at all and just trusted that John reads the mailing list by

some other means than being subscribed?

I think it's a worthy effort.

Thanks for being helpful.

I personally think it is unlikely that John would see these replies

otherwise, but not impossible of course. Perhaps the monthly FAQ could

have some guidance?

Thanks,

Andy
