Chris, did you try filtering for Yesod just in the subject and not in the body?<div><br></div><div>Jasper, you made some useful distinctions about what you would like to see on web-devel. And if they were easy to follow, I would be for them. But I am wondering if web-devel users will appreciate what is truly Yesod related and what is using a library that is available to any web developer. Michael already mentioned WAI. Another example would be the Persistent library. It is almost entirely developed and documented by a few Yesod users. Most of its usage is from Yesod users. However, users of other web frameworks use Persistent. Another wrinkle- data storage is not a problem unique to web development, and there are Persistent users that aren't even doing web development.</div>

</div>I also have this problem. I posted a while ago that all I ever receive<br>
is yesod posts:<br>
<a href="http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/web-devel/2010/000647.html" target="_blank">http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/web-devel/2010/000647.html</a><br>
<br>
I actually didn't unsubscribe, I just set a GMail filter. Recently I<br>
unset that to open some discussions. I noticed that I was actually<br>
missing out on general web-dev developments.<br>
<br>
But if I search "web-devel" in GMail, 14 out of the 20 results are<br>
yesod-specific. I created a test filter to remove "web-devel + yesod",<br>
but then I miss out on general posts where people merely mention<br>
yesod. 577 of 1224 *subjects* in the archive contain yesod.<br>

</div>I'm pretty sure that would make the problem worse. Then we would have<br>
yesod, happstack and snap "how do I do X?" questions to filter out.<br>
But anyway it seems more attractive these days for me to properly<br>
unsubscribe and get interesting web developments via Planet Haskell<br>
and Reddit or something. If you chaps want to get my attention<br>
specifically please drop me a mail or something.<br>
