I know that policy wonks appear to
have replaced deletionists as the people to blame for everything but
it is worth remebering that they do want to see wikipedia suceed they
just see a slightly different root.
Well the deletionists have won the war so we have to move on ;).
Just because everyone wants to see Wikipedia succeed doesn't mean
everyone is equally helpful to the project. After a while contributing
policy becomes a lot easier than contributing content and because
we are all here as hobbyists there is a natural inclination to do the
easier thing whilst still "helping" Wikipedia. Thus there is a natural
tendency to go down the wrong "root".

p.s. Yes I do appreciate the irony of chatting on a policy mailing
list whilst moaning about policy, but it has to be done :).
