You can't expect this consistency on a world-writable unmoderated mailing list. dev@ has always been an open and kinda random list with lot's of OT discussions and ramblings. Many people in the suckless community tried to push it towards moderation in the past. Personally I believe that dev@ is kind of self-balancing, sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better. But I'm pretty much against moderation. If you only want to follow technical discussions, hackers@ is supposed to be the right place, but of course it does not have so many subscribers as dev@. I'd like to see any consistent community mailing list -- I doubt they exist ;) Best regards, Anselm
