Our traffic is quite high; 50-80 messages a day is not unusual. To get a better idea of our monthly mail volumes, look in the Message History section below.

Most posters write in Russian -- the language understood by the greatest number of participants -- but that's not mandatory. Native speakers of other languages are welcome to post in those languages. The preferred encoding for Russian is KOI8-R.
