gnome@freebsd feedback is unlikely, it's dieing from @freebsd robot noise !
	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2015-May/author.html
	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2015-June/author.html
robots are:
	bugzilla-noreply
	pkg-fallout 
	portscout
	linimon (aka broken ports robot)
real mails from humans are rare! 2 in May, 5 in June so far.  + spam.

Compare traffic with 10 years back:
	http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2005-June/author.html
Lots of humans used gnome@ to co-operate back then.

Robot owners should reduce frequency of robot excretions,
which swamp gnome@, contravening list definition:
	http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-gnome
	This is a forum for discussions related to bring the GNOME
	environment to FreeBSD.

This is not cc'd to: gnome@ so usual balance of traffic in archive remains.

Cheers,
Julian
