Let us not forget that the mailing lists are supposed to be an offshoot of Wikip/media, a place where the sites are discussed -- not an end and a community unto themselves.
God yes. These lists are a tool. They are a tool to further the project. They're not a sounding board for anything anyone wants to post; they're not a forum for community warm-fuzzies. I really don't see what would be gained by abandoning any attempt to keep them on-topic and free of random crap.
What, exactly, are we trying to achieve here?
