I'm taking the liberty of putting foundation-l on temporary moderation. Seriously, guys -- take the "who's a bigger jerk" threads offlist.

The regular list mods may reconfigure any way they like once they wake up.

I woke up to this a couple of hours ago, and since then I've concluded that everyone could probably use a breather. Expect foundation-l to be closed to traffic for the next day or so.

In the meantime, I encourage everyone to take another look at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Improving_Foundation-l -- there was some great initial feedback, but we've just seen where trying to discuss this topic on the list got us. (Big surprise: generating more list traffic on the subject of too much list traffic is counterproductive.)

It wouldn't be fair for me to say more when nobody else has the ability to respond, so I'll leave it there, but hopefully I'll see some of you on the wiki.
