How would anyone expected to follow the above mess if they found
it an a mail list archive search?

Please follow the interchange-users posting guidelines, which are
regularly sent to this list:

  1. Trim unnecessary text from your followups.  Did you really need
     to quote three sets of links to the listinfo page in your article?

  2. Post your followup text within some sort of context, i.e:

             Quoting user1 (<user1 at icdevgroup.org>):
             > Some limited text that will give context.
             > 
             Your reply.

     instead of:

             Your reply, lazily put at the top.

             Quoting user1 (<user1 at icdevgroup.org>):
             > A whole big blob of previous articles, including
             > signatures and all.

You'll find that, if you post properly, then more people will read
your articles and you may even get more responses.  I stop following
threads when people top-post their followups - even if the followup
is in response to one of my articles.  I know lots of others who do
the same.
