I've personally met some of the most prolific posters to Foundation-l, and not one I can think of is the type to dominate a conversation in person.
*cough* I am, but consciously try to moderate it. A bit.
I'm encouraged by how the discussion's progressed thus far, and I see promise in some of the proposals (such as moving to a different medium), but at the very minimum there seems to be consensus for limiting the number of posts per-user on a periodic basis. It's a simplistic answer to a complicated problem, but I think it's a good start—maybe we can get people contributing again if they're not so intimidated by the volume and cliquishness.
Possibly. I'm also asking the Wine guys about just how they keep things sane on a mailing list gatewayed to and from a forum.
