If you'd like to start a moderated foundation-l,
in addition to the regular
foundation-l, that might be useful. But it's considerably inappropriate for
you to sign up for a mailing list that many of us have been enjoying for
years and in one month decide you want to alter it to suit your tastes.
"Enjoying"? Maybe more accurate for many of us is "barely
tolerating".
I am with Anders. It is not just a matter of learning to use an email
client properly. Considered posts are soon piled under dozens of
back-and-forth-over-minor-details responses.
But it doesn't seem the culture of foundation-l at this point would
allow moderation to make it a more proportionate place. Which is a
shame as in theory it is our main Wikimedia-wide channel of
communication, and must be terribly off-putting for newcomers.
