People in the office really do read Foundation-l and all the other movement lists. They are very much influenced by them and take them very seriously. A couple of times, someone on this list has said that WMF staff call Foundation-l "Troll-l". I've never heard anyone refer to it that way. I think that perception might be leading the most concerned Wikimedians to leave this list. That would be a bad thing.
