I respect every one's opinion that mails like these are within the scope of this list. If I continue to find such mails, I will simply unsubscribe :)
Several communities which function online use the mailing list as the primary source of communication and coordination. Ideally, the Wiki talk/coordination pages could/should be used for such activities but the downside is that a person has to be subscribed to individual page updates to be able to know that some discrete activity has happened and this is feasible for only expert wiki contributors and I am not sure if we are yet at that ideal level of expertise. Further, Wikipedia works on the community model and as you have acknowledged most wikipedians on this list are not averse to such mails. There is also a delete option in our email clients which allow us to delete mails which we do not want to read. I hope you can appreciate this and take a decision which is best suited for your interests. Thank you for your patience. With warm wishes, Vikram Vincent
