I'm assuming here that the mailing list is largely what it proposes to be, i.e. a place where people from different backgrounds discuss development issues. I do not doubt that there are people here who would be able to follow a more technical language or a math discussion, but not everyone comes from the same background, and the same way I am grateful if someone tries to avoid technical expressions I am not familiar with, I try to return the courtesy. In my personal experience here and in the forum, I have never observed a math-heavy post leading to any sort of detailed discussion (for whatever reason), so I try to avoid packing too many equations in. I don't want to make the implication that I'm doing math well beyond anyone's comprehension (I am clearly not), it's just an observation and I would ideally like to involve as many people in a discussion as possible.
