I follow this list mostly to avoid losing track of things as time passes and keep a record of significant things. I do not read every post, I filter at glance accoring to the subject and rarely by the initial poster. A jump in the number or replies in a thread also triggers my attention.
I rarely intervene except when it can help someone with appropriate info and timing. It's not the first time that syntax "preferences" are brought forward. Every time the pattern is the same " ... should.... " with little or no supporting facts and most of the time no attempt by the poster to implement his "idea". A personal taste is not a fact nor a need (a need would compromise your survival), it's a desire. Desires can or cannot be satisfied, it has no impact on your survival or on the syntax of an established language. Desires cannot by themselves change reality, work will. This thread is now more than a dozen replies long and at the end your desire will not get satisfied anyway. So why generating this kind of noise on tne list ? It's there to help prople solve problems (facts) not complaining about the color of the ceiling.
