I'm probably what you'd refer to as a non-serious user because I don't work on Plan 9 development, and don't use it in my day to day work. Still, I'm interested in all aspects of Plan 9, and one of the things that I enjoy the most is the development discussions. I could, of course, subscribe to the development list too, but I'm already subscribed to too many lists. If the problem is spam, let's fix that problem, perhaps by going subscriber only for posting. Some say this puts a burden on the casual reader, but I never found it too much effort to subscribe first. With one or two exceptions, we don't get too many flamers or OT posts, so I'm willing to live with that to keep from having to go to two places to get my Plan 9 fix. jcs
