and it's OK.
I just wanted to say three things:
* I agree with you that this list should be moderated
* when a thread derives, it's not always for a bad reason and is sometime useful. Moderation should stop flames.
Maybe I'm just quick to use 'ignore thread', but as far as I can see, there aren't very many situations of that kind that call for moderation.
I distrust the idea of moderation per se, it presumes some sort of greater wisdom and usually ends up assuming the moderator/s have that wisdom. My experience of this list is that eventually it polices itself known trolls get found out and OT comment usually gets filtered out by list members. That to me is the community that makes this list worthwhile.
We are told to get up to date and use Facebook or Twitter. I won't use either of those "platforms" for anything, if that makes me a dinosaur so be it.
For me if you kill this list you kill what I think of as openSUSE.
I occasionally use Facebook and Twitter, but I agree that the mailing lists are the heart and soul of what I consider the openSUSE community. Twitter in particular is a total waste for anything beyond sound bites. It's designed to not allow meaningful expression of thoughts.
