Hi - Microsoft had some mail-lists, for html,java,vbasic, etc - , and they had the feature, NO_MAIL - for a command that you could send to configure your subscription to not deliver the mails .
If someone replys to your posted mails to the list, it gets posted on the archives so members/you can read them there.
This would be so simple to implement here for the suse-linux-e .
This solution means:
if A does not read mails, he therefore does not help B.
A does not read fast enough to keep up with all the mails
If B does not read mails, he therefore does not help A.
A,and B, read the archives for help
they could help each other easier by not having to filter through
hundreds of emails

helps -- it defeats the purpose of this list: to help.
Besides, the number of repeated questions would increase exponentially, I bet.
