[Foundation-l] communicaton from noise

[Delirium]

I haven't really found that, and I tend to have a pretty high tolerance 
for mailing-list noise. A huge percentage of this mailing list lately 
has been: 1) having the same arguments/flamewars in circles about 
language policy that we were having a year ago (and two years ago, and 
three years ago, even largely with the same people); and 2) bickering 
about whether English-Wikipedia disputes are on-topic for this list. Oh, 
and what song to use on the foundation answering machine.
