I agree with your conclusion.  

I also wish that the signal level was higher.  The IETF list is important because we need to have a place where IETF wide issues can be discussed.  That doesn't work if many people unsubscribe due to the the low signal to noise level.  I hope that that people who consistently show up at the top of the posting summary will moderate their behavior.
