The site for those of us that want to like to keep up with the goings-on of the kernel mailing list, but can't afford to read 1500+ emails a day. ;-) Congratulations to the maintainer who has kept this site alive, through trial and tribulation."

    How can one even HAVE a mailing list with 1500+ messages/day?

    Well, usually nobody needs to read all these emails. The trick is having good mailer which can help to sort all that email and find what you do want or need to read. It is not a problem with good mailer which supports threading and kill lists (or Scoring). I've been subscribed on a number of maillists with more than 2000+ message/day in total and I could easily read them with Gnus.

    I am no kernel hacker, just a lowly information technology worker who wants to keep up-to-date on the comings and goings with Linux development. Ok, I admit it, I am just a bit of a gawker when it comes to free software development theory. I religiously read the abridged kernel traffic every Monday. That is good stuff (all nice and technical) to start the day off with. I recommend it to anyone who wants to stay hip and with it (and hey, you get to see the real Alan and real Linus every now and then).

    Keep it up guys!
