I agree that there is a need for some order in our list - but i dont think we're going about it in the right way. You talk about segregating lists -who decides whether you are fit to join a list or not? I firmly believe this issue is being blown out of proportion..and hope people will start to get back to the business of linuxing...
I identified splitting the list as a possible solution. But I think we aren't very sure of the problem itself. You did identify the problem well and I agree to all that you said.
But my main concern is that we need to take time out and really think on how to fix things. Maybe we can try publishing thorough guidelines on how the list should be used, and also do the same as a welcome mail when somone joins the list. Whatever that makes people aware.
