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you've started have been weeks outdated).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.
