I did try to read most of them but my eyes started to go a little
blurry. :)  Even just a message that says you acknowledge that this is
a public mailing list and posts will be archived and made available
publically when you press the submit button.  At least if the fix is
there we can simply point at the subscription page and that would be
the end of it.  A bit late for this guy but this keeps coming up.
