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.

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.
