This is no judgment on him as a person, but I do think we need to protect this list from further flooding.
As a reminder, this list has an official "soft limit" of 30 posts per individual/month, as stated on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l . It's encouraged for participants to stay below this limit in order for the conversation(s) not to be dominated by a single participant. In a listserv context, this is especially important, because it's a "push" medium that gets delivered directly to people's inboxes (contrary to a web forum), in some cases without filters.
By my count, Wil has posted to this list >50 times this month, which is a bit excessive.
Wil: I would encourage you to respect the norms of this list and refrain from excessive posting. I don't see an issue with any of the _topics_ you're wanting to talk about, just the volume/frequency at which you've been doing it.
Cheers,
Erik
