Very accurate.

I myself just thought up a new idea that could sort of solve some of
the crosstalk, OTOT, and noise issues people have been complaining
about (as if foundation-l was ever supposed to be as sanitized as a
PR/announce list).

Essentially we can just create a new mailing list for well..  mailing
list issues. Not exactly a coffee-table book about coffee-tables, just
a place for people deal with all things mail, until mail itself is
replaced with some kind of Slashclone/mailmanager hybrid.
