Eddy, you don't have to reply to every query that goes by. A
mailing list allows the community to share expertise, and
sometimes it's better to wait a while for other, possibly more
comprehensive or expert replies, before jumping in. Some restraint
is sometimes better, and it's not necessary to be a spokesperson
for Sam or Ryan. Less noise will give higher quality conversations.
