A nice theory, perhaps, but I suspect that in practice everyone will
just post to wikien-open and largely ignore the other lists. We already
have Signpost filling the role of Wikien-interesting, and IMO a
"thoughtful and insightful posts only" rule for wikien-forum would
either strangle discussion or be permissive enough that the list would
be a near duplicate of wikien-open. A middle ground would be extremely
hard to find in practice.
Personally, I don't see what's so horrendously wrong with wikien-l that
it's best to abandon it. Most modern browsers have threading built into
them, making it easy to ignore unproductive discussion threads. The
occasional extremely disruptive poster makes enough trouble that they
get kicked off, perhaps tweak the threshold for that downward a bit?
