On avarage. But even in that case it might be too much. Think about it -
if we'll have 3 emails sent to the dev alias from *each* module, it'll be
a substantial amount of emails to delete :)
So if each module owner makes sure (I *am* trying hard to move all private
discussions to the new alias) that any discussion that refers to the code in
GlassFish takes place in the public alias, you'll achieve 2 things at once:
1) people will get used to use these aliases, and
b) you'll realize very quickly that dev@ alias should be kept for global
discussions only, and it might not be as bad as you'd think that there is
no extra trafic on it :)
