I don't want gnome-vfs messages (which I try to pay attention to)
mixed up with gcl messages (which I pay somewhat less attention to)
and gconf messages (which I currently don't get).

I also don't like the idea that the desire of gtk-devel-list people to
get less mail is more important than the similar desires of
subscribers to other lists.

But I would like the gnome-vfs list to be moved from @ximian.com to
@gnome.org. Does anyone here know how to get the Ximian mail
administrators to pay attention?
