Hi guys,
As everyone can see, the list is a-flurry with discussion about Jimmy's recent actions on Commons. (And whatever other topics people want to spin the situation into.)
I'm not commenting on the topic itself, but I would like to urge everyone to direct their comments to the appropriate discussions on (meta|commons|enwiki). There are a lot of posts in a lot of threads, and if this debate is going to be useful, it should take place on a medium better organized than a mailing list.
I thank everyone for being remarkably civil to date, and for keeping the signal:noise ratio fairly high despite the large volume of messages. With this in mind, I'm hopeful that you can direct your energies in the most productive way possible.
Thanks,
Austin Hair List administration
