traffic increase + unsubscribe

[Karim BELABAS <Karim.Belabas@math.u-psud.fr>]

Hi,

  just received a couple of unsubscription requests, and I thought I'd make a
few important points about this mailing list:

* The pari lists are automated and managed by EZMLM. A (non-technical)
online FAQ/manual for EZMLM can be found, e.g. at

  http://ezmlm.altiplano.fr/ezman-0.32/index.html

and presumably at many other places (I asked google).

* Neither I, nor pari@math.u-bordeaux.fr (which is also me) can unsubscribe
anybody from the list. You need to send an email to

    pari-dev-unsubscribe@list.cr.yp.to

from the same email address you used when you subscribed (if that account is
not available to you anymore, see the FAQ, it is quite detailed).

* _IF_ pari-dev is set up in the proper way [ not sure whether it is the case
yet, I just asked the list owner to make that change in any case ], there is
a way to receive this list in digest form (at regular intervals, receive a
single message containing all messages from the given period). Sending an
empty email to

    pari-dev-digest-subscribe@list.cr.yp.to

will do the trick [ possibly not yet ]. You still have to unsubscribe from
pari-dev itself (otherwise you will receive both the digest and the regular
messages).

* We do not mean to scare everybody away. The whole point is to try and
decide other people to participate [ and to a lesser extent, to have
everything discussed in the open where everybody can see it, and later find
it using search engines, instead of my answering 5 times to the same
(legitimate) queries, only to start again 6 months later ].

If the current threads bore you, by all means speak up about the things you'd
like to see mentioned here. Try and start a thread ! Personally, I'd rather
discuss math rather than compatibility interfaces, or embarassing typos in
C code.

This list is yours, too bad if you decide to leave us anyway,

Cheers,

    Karim.
