No need to apologise.

Just FYI. I do have a gmail account I use solely for mailing lists but I 
access almost all of the many that I subscribe to via a newsreader (in 
this instance Thunderbird) and disable all forwarding of the mail in 
mailman. So I do not get *any* messages in my gmail account at all :-)

FYI again, these lists, and many thousands of others, are available on 
news.gmane.org.
