I don't understand why people use email for this list when there is a 
perfect newsgroup, gmane.linux.ubuntu.user, for it. Using that it will 
not clutter your mailbox, and using a newsreader like Pan you get good 
treading. I started reading this list by email but soon switched to the 
newsgroup, I find that much more comfortable.
