Seriously? Then I´d suggest creating a "I am bored and want to talk about trivia" kind of mailinglist. Or a course in meditation to be able to deal with some silence in between. I still hardly read the list due for the reasons I already explained which are similar reasons why I unsubscribed debian-user: The noise to useful content ratio is so high that I feel it to be like a waste of time to try to find the interesting messages in between in most threads. So for now, I just check, is it Jude posting vdev news, read that, and, honestly mostly forget about the rest. I can deal with it like that, my mail program can as well, but this way I may miss some of the mails that have useful content. Heck, I don´t even expect every mail to be useful for me. But a bit better ratio, that would be good. So please, if you just post here out of boredom: Stop! And use your boredom as a chance for personal development.
