[Foundation-l] moderate this list

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
When you are not here to convince but only their to talk, it is not
reasonable to abuse this mailing list where people want to inform, convince,
reach consensus. The generation of noise that you apparently consider ok for
this list wastes a lot of time. With so many words you say that your
contributions are not necessarily meant to have an effect, as a consequence
I would prefer it when you limit your activity to things where you
personally are willing to make a difference.
Thanks,
       GerardM
