You have at your disposal an incredibly powerful tool: the computer
you read your e-mail on. Most e-mail clients can allow you to filter
your e-mail and I would suggest that you do that to cut down on the
"noise" from the list. I do this, I'm sure others do also.

Personally I enjoy the nature of this list. Even when things get a bit
hot and people start hurling small nuclear weapons at each other, it's
still a vibrant and (in general) thoughtful community.

The nature of the medium allows for many uses - what is noise to you
may be useful, even vital, to others.

I enjoy the (generally) unfiltered nature of our group. I wasn't aware
that Brian did the kind of monitoring/mediation he has discussed, but
I trust him. He's the bartender and his establishment is the kind I
enjoy visiting. Even threads such as this one provide a richness
seldom encountered in other parts of the web.

I honor it, and you, appreciate your suggestion but from my place at
the table over by the kitchen I respectfully disagree.
