I believe that Daniel targets rather people like me, who am new on the List and have (unfortunately) never been a Unicode staff member.

Nevertheless, I don't believe that anybody's subscription to this List result from a «random».

To meet Daniel's request, the «technical» threads Daniel is likely to be interested in, might be given a «(TECHNICAL)» attribute in the Subject at some point of the thread, so that it will be easy to filter them and follow back in the Archive.

I hope that helps...
