I subscribed to it but after the second time that they lost me in their
list I didn't return to it. The reason for that is that I've seen too
much noise there. The problem is that if you read most of the povray
news and cgrr and a mailing list this could become an overkill. I
decided from my personal point of view that the ratio of mail important
for me to the mail unimportant for me is too low (I hope I haven't hurt
anybody with this statement, it's just my personal opinion and your may
vary in any amount). 

Regarding the traffic .. there were times when the traffic was quit high
10 or more mail in one day and then periods when not even one appeared
on my screen.
