Hi Lars,

I'm sorry, but this is a corollary to Housley's Law, which borrows from 
many, including Benjamin Franklin:

    I have already made this paper too long, for which I must crave
    pardon, not having now time to make it shorter.

In an admirable effort to be transparent, we have inundated this list in 
particular with data.  We now need to take the time to reduce that data  
to usable information.  Please take another swing.

Eliot

I think I've seen signs in the feedback thread that there are probably very different views on that in the broader community as well. Hence the decision to propose a new mailing list.
