I've re-ordered to get rid of the top-posting, before noting a couple
of things:

a) Surely the fact that the list and the social media platform aren't
    mirrored was because of a failure in the implementation of Discourse,
    when the choice to operate it was initially made: and not a fault
    of the mailing list per se, given that mailing lists just send out
    content to subscribed addresses?

b) Having said that, I am on the list, and probably more of a lurker
    than Jurgen, but I don't seem to have got the email (6/06/2025)
    that was being replied to here, although I did get a later posting
    to the list on 2025-06-09?
