It's a burden because as the primary developer, I have something of an
obligation to actually read all the email here. And not coincidentally,
I'm usually the number one poster because I'm answering many of those
emails.

No, it's the userS list. A subtle but important distinction. We're happy
to answer your questions, but there are 800 other people on this list
and we need to leave time and space for them to ask questions as well.

ps: Please don't start a message board unless you're prepared to
populate it with experts. It's much easier to give incorrect advice than
to fix the resulting damage, especially when that advice is permanently
archived on the web.
