People can post without being subscribed, and most people around here will CC them when they reply. That's supposed to be a feature of our lists. Maybe when you receive such a question you can forward it to a list CCing the person. Not that I disagree with your opinion that a smaller list is desirable. I think collapsing lists into -general or whatever would be a terrible idea. -- Álvaro Herrera The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
