No, it is not. A user of quite a few packages -- and a supporter of 
several people using quite a few more, I simply can not afford to have 
my mailbox stuffed with routine exchanges of various mailing lists 
discussing minutiae of every package's development, etc.

The practice of requiring one to "subscribe" in order to be able to get 
support is rather disgusting, and I'm glad, FreeBSD mailing lists don't 
impose this requirement -- even if non-member posts are delayed (a 
reasonable anti-spam measure), the delay is short.

Other groups aren't that nice to their users. We are about to find out, 
where do the amarok-developers fall on this criteria...

I know :-( Perhaps, though, the gist of it -- whether to file a 
bug-report or to try a particular work-around -- will be forwarded to me 
as well... Thanks in advance! Yours,
