Yes. Exactly.
I find it ironic that those on this thread who are most keen to retain the
status quo are those who are the most prolific posters to it. I wouldn't be
surprised to see someone write: "who says foundation-l has a bad
signal-to-noise ratio? I respond to every single thread and I think it's
great."

Self evidently they like the way foundation-l runs because they have created
it that way. So, saying 'if it aint broke don't fix it' might be correct
from their perspective but from the perspective of someone else it sounds
more like 'let them eat
cake'<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake>- they cannot see
that what works well for them might not be good for the
rest of us.
