If you're going to tell us what we "need" to do, may we tell you what you need to do as well? I have a few ideas.

What I think I might do is come up with a list of individuals who I am going to limit my replies to or reply to privately, because either I rarely reach a consensus with them or we rarely discuss things that are interesting to anyone else. It's a fine line, though. Personally I don't see what's wrong with treating mailing lists a lot like IRC (or, to use a newfangled and even more maligned reference, twitter). I really think people need to get over the fact that they don't need to process every single e-mail which appears in their inbox when they come back from a week vacation. They need to pick certain high traffic mailing lists, and purge (or archive, if they're fortunate enough to have gmail-size storage). If there were a separate announcement list it might be easier for people to accept this fact of reality.
Anyway, if anyone wants to *privately* send me a list of names of people they think I should limit my replies to, please do. You don't have to put Thomas on the list. I know how y'all feel about him already, which doesn't mean I agree with it (I haven't decided if he goes on the list or not).

In general, though, I think if we all put you on our personal block lists, I think that would probably reduce the amount you posted. I don't like that as an option though because like I said before, you do contribute good ideas to this list.
