I haven't really found that, and I tend to have a pretty high tolerance for mailing-list noise. A huge percentage of this mailing list lately has been: 1) having the same arguments/flamewars in circles about language policy that we were having a year ago (and two years ago, and three years ago, even largely with the same people); and 2) bickering about whether English-Wikipedia disputes are on-topic for this list. Oh, and what song to use on the foundation answering machine.

So says you (while, as I've mentioned before the last 5 or 6 topics you've started have been weeks outdated). Personally, I find this list to be an effective method of communication between the foundation and the community. For all the noise, there is quite a good bit of signal available on this list.

You will know that this Foundation elist, like all the others, is an antiquated attempt at sharing communication. They have outlived their usefulness. As an attempt to discuss and share a conclusion about the issues affecting WMF projects, they divide insiders from newbies, project community from project community, and often just generate noise.
