47. Why is the mailing list ignoring me?

You probably asked a question that’s answered in this FAQ, or somewhere else in the documentation, and nobody wants to quote it for you.

There is a small chance that the mailing list spam filter ate your message. Check the list archives to see if your message appears there. Also double-check that you have subscribed to the lists and completed all the confirmation rituals of its engine.

Convincing the other subscribers that you’ve actually read down this far might be useful. You might mention "queequeg" for better results.
