I've had it

I've been on quite a while myself, and it does seem that the complaints are  
snowballing.  Part of it is the logrythmic increase in spam that everybody  
experiences.  The non-sanitized archives are a problem with that, as much or  
more than the open posting to the lists.  
  
It's also a matter of there being a growing body of people who have politely  
asked for changes in the past, or who've complained, with no response.  When a  
new complainer speaks up, they often join him in an attempt at "rabble  
democracy" to indicate their support. 
 
As you say, the list is a gift to us, and we should take it rather than 
complain about it.  If we fragment the group into other lists, the community 
we all enjoy won't be the same.  I'd like to see that avoided, so I hope 
whatever happens won't be just a bunch of spoiled kids taking their ball and 
going home.
