 I don`t blame you.  I probably will as well.  
It`s absurd to have to get a hundred plus e-mails a day to stay   'up'  on FreeBSD.
To reduce the amount of mail only needs a few minor changes.
1)   Make it a 'only members can post' list
2)   Remind people to check the FAQ before posting
3)   Remind people to search the archive before posting (the majority of threads here have been answered before, often many times).
 
Unfortuately, there seems to be absolutely no oversight by the list maintainer.  This is making it annoying for some and unusable for others.

The french named restaurant "for sale" message did it for me.
