Don't hijack threads, i.e. don't reply to a totally unrelated thread and enter a new subject line and body. This will make your message turn up in the middle of that thread and annoy someone, while others will completely miss it. Compose a new message and send it to the list address. 2. Make the topic meaningful. "HEEEEEEEEEEEEELPPP!!!!!!!!!!" is not. This is a high volume mailinglist and most people will gladly skip such messages. "Motoral wireless card trouble" is a lot better, and will catch the eye of others with the same problem, or a solution. Not meaning to sound harsh, it's just easier for you to get through this way.
