Just on the message-reply bit... Gmane.org carries this list (among many), archiving the posts with both nntp/news and http/web interfaces. Both the web and news interfaces normally allow replies to both old and current messages via the gmane gateway forwarding to the list, tho the first time you reply to a list via gmane, it'll respond with a confirmation to the email address you used, requiring you to reply to that before forwarding the mail on to the list. If you don't reply within a week, the message is dropped. However, at least for the news interface (not sure about the web interface), you only have to confirm for a particular list/newsgroup once, after that, it forwards to the list without further confirmations. That's how I follow all my lists, reading and replying to them as newsgroups via the gmane list2news interface. http://gmane.org for more info. The one caveat is that while on a lot of lists replies to the list only is the norm, on the Linux kernel and vger.kernel.org hosted lists (including this one), replying to all, list and previous posters, is the norm, and I'm not sure if the web interface allows that. On the news interface it of course depends on your news client -- mine is more adapted to news than mail, and while it allows forwarding to your normal mail client for the mail side, normal followups are to news only, and it's not easy to reply to all, so I generally reply to list (as newsgroup) only, unless a poster specifically requests to be CCed on replies. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
