This happens.  Only about half the questions posted ever get summaries
on the sun-managers list (but then, people ask questions like "I have
an E10K with 5 domains and need to upgrade one of them from 2.5.1 to
2.6, do I need to do anything special to the domain manager?" and
probably didn't get any replies).  I don't think that a few people not
summarising really affects things.

Yes, but would you subscribe to the gnome-users list once you know how
to do things?  A lot of mail to dredge through...
