This way the mailing list community might be reached, by providing the questions and discussion in their favorite form and no one can complain about being spamed. I certainly would not feel spamed by an email every three hours, I wouldn't feel spamed if every question would directly be anounced on the list if the Subject has a clear pattern *cough* mail sorting *cough*. It is a mailing list, there might be hundreds of mails a day, why would 18 more bother.
