From kragen@dnaco.net Tue Aug 25 12:14:01 1998 Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1998 12:14:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Kragen Reply-To: Kragen To: clug-user@clug.org Subject: mailing lists Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Keywords: X-UID: 1405 Status: O X-Status: I discovered why I get so much mail. I'm on lots of mailing lists! Is this unusual? Does it happen to everyone? How do other people deal with this volume of incoming mail? - info-cvs and bug-cvs at gnu.org; these are about CVS - cpptips, C++ tips from ses.com - systalk, discussions about systems mostly, at ml.org - clug-user, a bunch of cool folks who live nearby - misc, on minimal instruction set computing (although I haven't seen anything from them in a while), hosted at pisa.rockefeller.edu - the Threepoint.com mailing lists: linux-news, linux-news-press, linux-news-security, linux-news-sw, and talkback - gclist, about garbage collectors, at iecc.com - linux-msdos@vger -- about dosemu - linux-userfs@vger -- about userfs, which no one uses - LWN's announcement list, where they mail me every Thursday - the discussion list for angela!, a linegraph editor - the announcement list for the East Timor Action Network - freshmeat-news, which sends me all the news items from freshmeat.net every midnight - fractint and fractdev, two mailing lists about Fractint, both at xmission.com - hugi-compo, a mailing list on the subject of a competition (well, series of competitions) to write small code. The most recent competition yielded several implementations of Pong under 142 bytes of x86 machine code. - fsb, a very high-quality list on which people discuss making livings (and profits!) with free software, hosted by Crynwr - bugtraq, a security-hole list, so I can find out when there are big holes in my machine's security - lispos, a discussion list on implementing a Lisp-all-the-way-down OS - rebecalist, for discussion by friends and acquaintances of mars@well.com. (Also very high quality.) - testeria, related to rebecalist, but with no traffic. - k12comp, on computers in K-12 education - hoggs, a mailing list for one branch of my family - sittlers, a mailing list for another one - coda-announce and linux-coda, on the Coda networked filesystem - SpaceDev's press-contact list to send press releases to; - unixsig, which is for the Dayton Unix/Linux SIG of DMA; - the Math Forum newsletter from forum.swarthmore.edu; - Apache Week's subscriber list; - RISKS forum; - politech (formerly fight-censorship) at vorlon; - ml-public-relations (for Monolith staff) - ccf-interest and ccf-announce, for the CCF stuff from ccf.mathcs.emory.edu; - beowulf@cesdis, which seems pretty dead; - security-audit@ferret, the Linux security audit; - netdev@nuclecu, on developing networking in the Linux kerenl; - kragen-cosmec@gentle, a mailing list for my project at work - tgif@gentle, for discussion of the TGIF vector editor - yucks (by Spaf); - simson-says (a column by Simson Garfinkel). By my count, that's 47 mailing lists. And I'm sure there are a dozen or so I've forgotten. Is this pathological, do you think? Or just normal? (Yes, I read all my mail, except in rare cases.)
