What about using Thunderbird? Or aren't you allowed to install other 
mail clients?

For general Pascal topics, like your Fortran=>Pascal thread the list 
fpc-pascal would be more suitable, as it is more related to the language 
than to the GUI or the IDE.

Your thread about using the serial component should be correct here 
(although it is a non visual component it is a component after all). 
Manipulating digital I/O is more a non GUI related topic and thus should 
be discussed on fpc-pascal.

I can't talk for others, but at least for me you haven't caused any real 
inconvenience. If I realize that a topic moves into a direction that I 
don't want to follow anymore (e.g. its getting boring), I just hit "r" 
on that thread when new messages arrive and they are all marked as read 
and I can concentrate on the interesting threads.
