The number of mailing lists I follow with people having a whinge about threads being off topic is just getting silly recently.
What is it with people on mailing lists who can't install filters to just ignore a thread?
More and more I get my mail on my phone. Gmail for my phone just threads everything, so it's easy to just ignore a thread that's clearly left my interest.
Last week I was following thread after thread on the AusNog mailing list complaining about the volume of traffic. The week before it was the Internet NZ PAG list, and today it's people moaning on the PHP list.
What's the point of discussion lists if people aren't allowed to 'discuss'?
Why is it that technical people can't use filtering tools?
What am I missing here?
