Do you know this is a serious mailing list? Not a place to hangout with
your friends and share dumb stuff. There are other services to do that.

Sigh. The EE list is a normally "serious" list too, and that doesn't stop
people from smiling once in awhile. This was sent to EE by someone from an @wikimedia.org
email address.
Anyway, since there are apparently strong feelings against building morale or camaraderie
on the Wikitech list, I won't do this again.

It is time for one of my very rare List Decrees.
Antoine: you were a little too grumpy there in how you phrased this, but
I understand where you're coming from. The ee list had 98 messages in
February; wikitech-l had 993. You're right that we need to keep the
list (mostly) on-topic.
Pine: you're exaggerating a little bit in your characterization, but you
have a point -- there is room for the occasional pleasant semi-related
post to brighten people's day. I have done morale- and
camaraderie-building stuff on this list, like celebrating new
maintainers, or starting that Appreciation thread back in August.
Pine and Antoine: I value your contributions to the Wikimedia community
and I ask you to take a breath, value each other, and share the WikiLove.
Thanks.
