For every one of the "few people" who complain, I'll bet money that there are at least ten who don't speak up on the list, because other people are championing the cause already; for every one of those there's probably another who unsubscribed or stopped paying attention because, well, it's just not worth it for them anymore.
Yes. Exactly. I find it ironic that those on this thread who are most keen to retain the status quo are those who are the most prolific posters to it. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone write: "who says foundation-l has a bad signal-to-noise ratio? I respond to every single thread and I think it's great."
Self evidently they like the way foundation-l runs because they have created it that way. So, saying 'if it aint broke don't fix it' might be correct from their perspective but from the perspective of someone else it sounds more like 'let them eat cake'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake- they cannot see that what works well for them might not be good for the rest of us.
