Hmm, your argument sounds like something from talk :) ie it's not technical, not related to the objective and just invites a massive off-topic debate; all fine in a casual conversation but not in a focussed discussion. I'd suggest that the barrier to entry for a mailing list cf talk is substantially less than the barrier to entry of a private school. Anyone from talk is welcome to join the list provided they plan on engaging in development oriented discussions (and yes, they do meander - no-one cares *that* much).
