Boo hiss. If I wanted a newsgroup I'd read comp.sys.laptops. Newsgroups
are for things I don't really care about. My Thinkpad falls in the "important"
category so I prefer a mailing list.
It would make my life easier if postings to the list had a reply-to: pointing
to the list, but I appriciate that other feel differently.

Then stay away from comp.sys.laptops - too low a signal/noise ratio wrt
thinkpads.

Sorry for your bad experience, mine have all been just the opposite.

The message to which you were responding has instructions for doing just
that:
>> Yes, please send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to tp750-REQUEST_at_cs.utk.edu,
>> not to the whole list.
