I am told she was talking about receiving posts twice when they do get
crossposted. Anyhow this list is currently has a very high noise ratio and I
have found that I am not reading much of it in depth anymore due to what I
perceive as a large amount of utterly useless "chatter". (my opinion only that
second sentence)

Kirsty unsubscribed shortly after sending that message... We have already lost
many subscribers or people have stopped reading this list due to the low amount
of communication on free software and the amount of posts with no real content
in them. (again my opinion only, not statement of fact)
