There has been a lot of good information sent to the mailing list but
unfortunately it can be hard to find in the archives because of the low S/N
ratio.  Please don't get me wrong though, I think this list is very nice,
I'm just saying that I've thought to myself "that's good documentation, it
should be saved somewhere" a couple of times when reading some emails with
stuff that's completely trivial to several readers, but quite valuable to
myself and other (relative to complete) newbies.
