"Enjoying"? Maybe more accurate for many of us is "barely tolerating".

I am with Anders. It is not just a matter of learning to use an email
client properly. Considered posts are soon piled under dozens of
back-and-forth-over-minor-details responses.

But it doesn't seem the culture of foundation-l at this point would
allow moderation to make it a more proportionate place. Which is a
shame as in theory it is our main Wikimedia-wide channel of
communication, and must be terribly off-putting for newcomers.
