There is Nabble. It's not going to make you any friends unless you
learn to post in plain text AND to include context ... too often not
done by Nabble users. Gmane is also a possible website that can mirror
rhelp.

Yes, several. Have you read the information page and the posting guide
yet?

Yes. You were offered an option to get a digest when you signed up.

Most people reply to both the poster and the the list, but there is no
enforcement mechanism. Your unwillingness to do any extra work to
educate yourself is duly noted. Speaking only for myself, I will NOT
respond to any of your further posts because of your demonstrated
privileged attitude. It would not bother me if other regular readers
followed my example.

We do not agree that HTML is a better format. You are welcome to take
your questions elsewhere if plain text is not acceptable.

.pdf and .txt files are acceptable attachments.

I say again: You are welcome to take your questions elsewhere if
plain text is not acceptable.
