A few tips when posting to this list:

1. Don't hijack threads, i.e. don't reply to a totally unrelated thread
and enter a new subject line and body. This will make your message turn
up in the middle of that thread and annoy someone, while others will
completely miss it. Compose a new message and send it to the list
address.

2. Make the topic meaningful. "HEEEEEEEEEEEEELPPP!!!!!!!!!!" is not.
This is a high volume mailinglist and most people will gladly skip such
messages. "Motoral wireless card trouble" is a lot better, and 
will catch the eye of others with the same problem, or a solution.

Not meaning to sound harsh, it's just easier for you to get through this
way.
