contribute something I don't like. I can control my own inbox, just as I control what I toss when my physical mail arrives at home. I don't cry and wail when I get junk mail and unsolicited crap in my physical mail at home, so why do so on the Internet?

When there is noise on a discussion list, the list itself suffers. Not just the people who have to read it.
Steve,
One person's "noise" is another person's music; especially if the song is about the people.
Lists, like encyclopedias, don't suffer; just the persons who are placed in secondary importance to them. It is like the Pharaohs building the pyramids at the expense of hundreds of thousands of anonymous lives.
Priorities! Priorities!
